Draft:Tenuta MonteRosola

Tenuta Monte Rosola is a winery based in Volterra, Tuscany. Dating back to the 1480s, Monte Rosola was founded in 1999 by Gottfried E. Schmitt and Maria del Carmen Vieytes. The vineyard, occupying 125 hectares, is now under the ownership of the Swedish Thomaeus family, who have owned the estate since 2013. It was sold in 2013 to Exoro Capital, a privately owned holding company of the Swedish Thomaeus family.

The vineyard has won multiple awards, including the Decanter Magazine wine awards.

Vineyards and wines
The wines are made by Italian oenologist Alberto Antonini, who joined the estate in 1999. 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.
