Tenuta Monte Rosola is a winery based in Volterra, Tuscany.[2][3] Dating back to the 1480s, Monte Rosola was founded in 1999 by Gottfried E. Schmitt and Maria del Carmen Vieytes.[4][5][6] The vineyard, occupying 125 hectares, is now under the ownership of the Swedish Thomaeus family, who have owned the estate since 2013.[7][8] It was sold in 2013 to Exoro Capital, a privately owned holding company of the Swedish Thomaeus family.[9]
The vineyard has won multiple awards, including the Decanter Magazine wine awards.
Vineyards and wines[edit]
The wines are made by Italian oenologist Alberto Antonini, who joined the estate in 1999.[10] Monte Rosola produces different wines, all with a barrel aging process. Prior to 2013, this was exclusively oak aged. Owning vineyards of their own, Monte Rosola sources grapes from across their 125 hectare estate.
