Vin Santo del Chianti Montespertoli Riserva Fattorie Parri 50cl

A supreme value Vin Santo option. Late, manually harvested Trebbiano is left to dry in bunches from late September until the end of January. Then the grapes are vinified and put to caratelli (very small old oak barrels) to mature for eight years. A beautiful amber colour with a charming, ethereal nose with rasined white fruits and floral honey notes. Velvety and sweet in the mouth with medium rich fig and also notes of sweet almond paste on the lovely finish. Yet again, another REAL bargain here from Parri.

Chianti Montespertoli is one of seven sub-denominations incorporated in the Chianti DOCG since 1984. Fattorie Parri is a family winery, started when Novello Parri bought the first estate, called 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.

Of the total of 180 hectares of estate, 60 are planted with vineyards, 35 with olive trees, grain is produced and the rest is planted with forest. All in all, 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.
