Monteverro

What Monteverro does

Monteverro is a privately held Tuscan winery (S.r.L. Società Agricola) headquartered in Capalbio, Maremma, founded in 2008 with its first harvest by owner-operators Georg and Julia Weber. The estate encompasses 60 hectares, of which 35 are planted to vines, producing a portfolio of premium still wines including the flagship Monteverro, Tinata, Chardonnay, Terra di Monteverro, Verruzzo di Monteverro, and a Vermentino, alongside Grappa, Grappa Riserva, and estate-produced Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Production is led by winemaker Matthieu Taunay, who trained at Chêne Bleu and brings experience from leading Rhône and Provence estates. Winemaking follows traditional methods including hand harvesting, separate vinification by parcel, and aging in French oak. From 2010 the estate adopted the patented Bubble-Tag authentication system across multiple cuvées, and from 2016 it added HPLC cork screening to mitigate TCA contamination risk. The EU co-financed selected capital investments through the PSR 2014–2020 rural development programme.

The company sells through a direct-to-consumer model centred on a multilingual (Italian, English, German) mailing list and WooCommerce-powered online shop with international shipping, supplemented by selective trade and wholesale distribution. Brand reputation is supported by multiple 95–100 point critic ratings across vintages.
