The History
Monterotondo has origins linked to Saverio Basagni’s grandfather, who in 1959 purchased the estate from Badia a Coltibuono. Saverio studies oenology and gains experience in various Chianti wineries. He then worked for a period in the family mineral water winery in Florence, but his path was different; he leaves his job in Florence and decides to dedicate himself to renovating the vineyards in the old family estate, also completing the restoration of the old farmhouse, now the main residence and headquarters of the winery. The first wine bottled as Monterotondo dates back to the 2003 harvest.
Terroir & Winery
The vines are perfectly exposed and receive sun from the first light of the morning. The vineyards reach an altitude of 575 meters and the winds blow fresh and dry from the Apennines, keeping the grapes healthy and giving strong temperature variations. Sandstone and stone-rich terrain completes the picture.
