Honest Chianti character and excellent value! Hand-picked grapes, fermentation for 10-15 days in stainless steel tanks.

Chianti Montespertoli is one of seven sub-denominations incorporated into the Chianti DOCG since 1984. It is located just south west of Florence in the heart of Chianti. Fattorie Parri is a family winery, started when Novello Parri bought his first estate, Tenuta Corfecciano, in 1950. In the following two decades, the family successively bought Tenuta Ribaldaccio, Tenuta Il Monte and finally, in 1971, Il Urbana, where the winery is now located.

The Corfecciano Urbana farm is on the historical Via Volterrana, approximately 3km from the centre of town. It is mentioned in documents dating back to 1170 and is likely to have been developed on a Roman settlement.

Of the total of 180 hectares of estate, 60 are planted with vineyards and 35 with olive trees. Grain is also cultivated, and the rest is forest. All in all, it is a classic Italian company whose roots literally lie deep in the soil of the Tuscan landscape.

The daily management of the 3 companies is in the hands of Luigi Parri, together with his nephew Andrea and niece Paola Cantini. Oenologist Giorgio Tarzariol has been responsible for making the wines since 1972.
