Cantina Gentili

Gentili has been producing wine since 1963 which was expanded to 13 hectares in 1990.

Their vineyards, which are located at the bottom of “Mount Cetona”, are grown between 250 and 350 meters above sea level, and are composed of approximately 80% international varieties - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. The remaining 20% is planted with local varieties, such as Sangiovese, Prugnolo Gentile, Colorino, Malvasia del Chianti and Trebbiano Toscano.

The most fertile lands on the southern side of Cetona Mountain are called “Le Favorite”, and they were originally given to only the most deserving peasants in the region. Located on the top of a very steep hill, in the “Costa del Sol”, known for its strong southerly aspect, it is this maximum sun exposure, the clay soil and proximity to the Cetona Mountain that help them produce their bold and aromatic, yet refined wines.
