The available information concerns Tenuta Montauto in Tuscany rather than a producer explicitly identified as Athletes of Wine. The estate has been owned by the Lepri family for more than 60 years. Enos Lepri planted the first vineyards in the 1970s, while Riccardo Lepri established the winery in its current form in 2001 and continues to run it, working with an unnamed enologist. The vineyards are managed using ecological and natural methods, although no formal sustainability certifications are stated.
