Pargolo, is a very pleasant, easy to drink, typical Tuscan wine made of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot, cultivated on the Chianti Classico hills directly surrounding Podere La Villa.
The petite size of the 1.5 hectare vineyard explains the modest production of Pargolo, a niche wine for lovers of special things. The year 2007 was our first vintage and also a very important year for us, as our first son, Riccardo, was born on September 7th, the first day of our first harvest. For this reason, we decided to name the wine “Pargolo”, an ancient Italian poetic term for young child, which comes from the Latin “parvulus”, meaning small.
The vineyard is regularly pruned to maintain a low yield per plant and undergoes only a few organic treatments. We do not use any chemicals on our grapes. Vinification takes place in a well-known nearby wine estate belonging to some dear friends, who carefully age the wine for us in small French oak barrels for about 18 months.
