Situated on the downward slopes of the highest hills of the Commune of Montespertoli, the territory lies to the south-west of Florence, in the area between two valleys Val di Pesa e Val d'Elsa; a chain of hills in an open and sunny countryside where cypress trees sway in the wind, ploughed fields lie close to woodland or alternate with vineyards and olive groves in a perfect harmony of space and colour.

An outstanding value Chianti for a fraction of the price, the Fattorie Parri Chianti Riserva is light, fruit-abundant and easy drinking drop - the perfect pizza wine!

Dark berries, liquorice and new leather, a little pencilly oak. It’s medium-bodied, savoury, but with ripe strawberry and cherry, a bit of grip to tannin, fresh acidity, and a grainy tannin finish of good length. Classic feel here, and a pretty nice it is too.
