Profile
|
 Agriturismo Montefili is located in the heart of the region of Chianti Classico near Greve, looking out over Montefioralle, a splendid medieval village, in an untouched natural setting. It is on the top of a hill (1400 feet above sea level) with a magnificent 360° view. Even in the summer it is cool, with a fresh breeze. |
 The property includes a cluster of four houses that once served as a stopping place on the ancient salt road (there's still a trace of the road in the path which goes by the pool) as well as approximately 10 hectares (20 acres) of land, including four hectares of vineyards, an olive grove, a stand of cypress trees, meadow and woods. |
 In 1994, the property was semi abandoned and the buildings were in terrible disrepair. Since then the new owners have dedicated themselves, restoring them as closely as possible to their original form, using only local and environmentally compatible materials and personally supervising every phase of the restoration down to the last details. |
 Four buildings of the original settlement have been restored: the owners live in the largest one; in the old former storehouse there are two apartments; an old cottage has been transformed into an other apartment and a small studio for two people, l'Eremo, situated on the top of a hill is available with a magnificent view of the country all around. Last year, a large swimming pool has been added to the property. The farm has a vineyard of about 4 hectares. |
 The vines are registered for Chianti Classico and mainly San Giovese grapes along with small amounts of the Trebbiano and Canaiolo varieties are produced. It is a vineyard, in part old and in part more recently planted, that the owners cultivate with great care, strictly limiting the use of fertilizers and chemicals. Currently the production of wine is outside the property and in fact all grapes are sent to the winery, Basilica Cafaggio di Panzano. |
