Montefili Anfiteatro Toscana (2019)

High above the heart of Chianti Classico, perched over 500 meters in the hills of Panzano, Montefili crafts high‑altitude, low‑intervention wines that channel Sangiovese in its purest, most expressive form. Founded in 1975 with what became Panzano’s first single‑vineyard “Cru,” the estate was revitalized in 2015, yet its historic vines still anchor the iconic Anfiteatro Toscana IGT.

This single-vineyard Sangiovese from the oldest vines at Montefili represents the heart and soul of the estate. The palate is intense, with a cascade of fruits: dried cherry, ripe nectarine, orange peel and fig. Notes of cinnamon, ginger and smoke adorn an important backbone. Velvety, elegant, and unique, with a very long, meditative finish.
