The Azienda Agricola Il Monticello was founded in 1982 when Pier Luigi Neri, inherited a 19th-century house and a plot of land on the hills towering Sarzana, just in front of the sea. In 1994 the sons, Alessandro and Davide, intense appreciation and commitment to respect & regenerate the truly unique Ligurian microclimate, introduced their father's 12 hectares of vineyards to organic and biodynamic farming.
