Villa Montepaldi

This fabulous renaissance property, once owned by Leonardo di Medici with its 300 hectares of vineyards and olive groves is also now owned by The University of Florence and doubles as the field station for their Oenology department. It is run as a non-profit organisation and, as such, the wines are phenomenally good value. The winemaking is overseen by Italy’s leading consultant in Carlo Ferrini; the wines themselves are traditional in style with beautiful violet aromas and bursting with cherry fruit. We are very proud to be bringing this great old institution and their wines to the UK for the first time.
