Lunaria Rosso IGT

This limited production red, estimated by many experts in the field, is the translation into wine of the admirable work of the painter Elisabetta Nisticò (see label).
As an elegant lady imposes the brightness of her presence in the night, this wine awakens palate and spirit.

Fattoria Montereggi has been present for almost a century on the green hills of Fiesole, located 12 km from Florence and still full of their healthy rural and natural atmosphere that smells of wood, water, sweaty fronts, calloused hands and lots of will. It is in fact since 1926 that our family, from generation to generation, has been committed to creating an all Tuscan extra virgin olive oil and red wines, such as Chianti DOCG, white, rosé and raisin wines, all genuine and high quality products.

The careful communion of a safeguarded tradition and selected innovation, together with the protection of the incredible peculiarities of our hills and the dignity of the people involved in the work, are our guiding principles; but the cornerstone that accompanies us during all the production processes is our passion, which has remained unchanged since the beginning of the company.

Since the '80s Silvia and her husband Valerio Cavalloni have been taking care of Fattoria Montereggi with passion and professionalism, following the family tradition, bringing innovations such as the bottling of wine with denomination of origin (Chianti DOCG), the packaging of wine in the Bag in Box, the further improvement of the quality of the products, looking for new markets, especially in the catering industry, giving development and well-being not only to the company but also to the area where it resides.

The work of Silvia and Valerio in recent years has been supported by the help of their children Pietro, Giorgio and Enrico. In 2015 the management of the farm is handed down and carried on by Giorgio, giving it further freshness and renewal.
