Sergio Manetti was working in the steel industry when he bought the Montevertine estate in 1967 as a holiday home. The property, three kilometres south of the village of Radda-in-Chianti, in the heart of Chianti Classico, sits at 425 metres above sea-level and has a long history stretching back to the 11th century when it was used as a defensive fortress. He restored the property, planted two hectares of vines and set up a small cellar, with the idea of making wine for family and friends.
