Winery Monterufoli

The estate is located on the site of former lignite and magnesite mines: the main building was once the terminal station of the Casino di Terra–Monterufoli railway. During the 20th century the area passed through several historic owners before becoming part of Tenute del Cerro. In recent decades its agricultural focus has been strengthened through new vineyard plantings and by enhancing the agritourism and dining facilities at the Villetta di Monterufoli.

The estate aims to express the character of the terroir by combining biodiversity conservation with sustainable agricultural practices: it has started producing Vermentino and embarked on a path toward organic farming, situating its winemaking activities within a large natural park.

The estate is located in the hilly band between Val di Cornia and Val di Cecina, in the province of Pisa, at elevations between approximately 150 and 500 meters above sea level. The landscape includes woodlands, thermal springs and mineral deposits that characterize the area's soils.
