Category: Monte Bernardi

Monte Bernardi is located on the southern tip of Panzano in Chianti, where some of the best Sangiovese wines in Tuscany are grown. Michael Schmelzer, owner of Monte Bernardi, was actually born in the USA and studied oenology and viticulture in Australia. But as he says himself, he learned there how not to make wine. Today, Michael is deeply committed to biodynamic viticulture at Monte Bernardi according to the principles of Rudolf Steiner. It can sometimes happen that the vines are "cured" with camomile tea.
And it was here in Tuscany that the winegrower discovered his great love for the Sangiovese grape. At the same time, Michael attaches great importance to preserving traditional techniques and passing on old knowledge, which has earned him the nickname "Mr. Sangiovese". The result is top wines that do not need to shy away from international comparison.
