Villa Fortunato Chianti
The Villa Fortunato vineyards are located
in the hilly region of central Tuscany, well suited for the production of
quality wine, at Greve (town between Florence and Siena), at an elevation of
1650ft above sea level.
The cellar is made from the inside of an
old farm in order to keep the tuscan traditions alive while using innovation
technology. Part of the system is made of steel and automated, but the classic
wooden barrels are used to let the wine refine and age.
