THE ESTATE

The estate Monte Rosola is located in the heart of Tuscany near Volterra, one of the ancient Etruscan capitals, and dates back to the 15th century.

Originally a fortified outpost for the Pignano Castle, it later became homestead for 3 to 4 farming families. The main products were olive oil, wine and grain.

We acquired Monte Rosola in 1999 as a ruin together with 7.5ha land where, by then, only Durham wheat was grown. We renovated the house and barn preserving their original character and replanted a state of the art olive grove and vineyard.

The hills surrounding Volterra rise over 600m and are wind-swept most of the year. The character of the earth and our special microclimate (terroir) are particularly well suited for wine and olive oil production thanks to the healthy growing conditions.

The intensive manual work in the vineyard and olive grove is supplemented with modern agricultural technologies for the achievement of the highest quality standards.
