The Land
High above San Gimignano, Montenidoli’s vineyards sit on ancient marine soils, a tapestry of limestone and fossilized seashells that lend elegance and minerality to the wines. The rolling hills of Tuscany provide warmth and ripeness, while cooling breezes from the nearby Apennines preserve freshness. This unique interplay of sun and soil allows Canaiolo—a variety often relegated to blending—to shine on its own, revealing a rosato of remarkable depth and finesse.
The Wine
A rosato with soul, the 2023 Montenidoli Sono Canaiuolo is a tribute to the quiet brilliance of Canaiolo. Delicate yet structured, this wine is a very light shade of pale pink, offering aromas of wild strawberries, white cherries, and rose petals, with a whisper of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, its crisp acidity and fine minerality balance the gentle fruit, leading to a finish that lingers with citrus zest and a subtle saline note. This is not just a summer wine—it has the depth to pair with everything from seafood crudo to roasted poultry, proving that great rosé transcends the seasons.
The People
Elisabetta Fagiuoli, the force behind Montenidoli, is a guardian of tradition and a steward of the land. Since the 1960s, she has championed organic farming and minimal-intervention winemaking, crafting wines that are both honest and profound. “Sono” means “I am,” and this rosato embodies that spirit—an authentic expression of variety, place, and the quiet determination of a winemaker devoted to history and terroir.

Practicing Organic vineyard farming involves growing grapes using organic methods—avoiding synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides—but without formal certification. Wineries adopting this approach prioritize environmental health, soil vitality, and biodiversity, using natural practices such as composting, cover cropping, and manual pest control. Many small wineries opt for practicing organic methods rather than pursuing official organic certification, primarily due to the significant cost, paperwork, and time commitment involved in certification processes. As a result, practicing organic is a popular choice among boutique and artisanal producers who remain committed to sustainable agriculture while managing budgetary constraints.
