20% off all Italian wine with code Italy20 - min order 12 bottles
The Imberti family is originally from the province of Bergamo and for five generations operated in the wood importation and processing industry. Over 50 years ago Vito Arturo Imberti fell in love with the Tuscan hills, a love that was crowned by the purchase of Fattoria Le Fonti. Today his children Franca, Ferdinando and Giovanni, and his nephew Mattia tend to the 140-hectare estate of which 24 are vineyards - all cultivated according to the principles of organic farming. In addition to the great wines of the Tuscan tradition, the Imberti family produces extra-virgin Chianti Classico DOP olive oil and
cereals, while a large part of the farmland is kept as forest and used for fauna and a game reserve. Sangiovese is the main player uniquely expressed by the terroir different and exciting with every vintage. The Estate offers a great variability of soils; the indistinguishable complexity typical of the Chianti Classico, soils with the presence of Pliocene clays with sandy matrix and deposits of pebbles. These conditions often intersect creating complexity and a wide variability. We keep a great number of clones
resulting from years of research both within the estate and with the University of Florence. We also dedicate some small plots of land to Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Foglia Tonda, Trebbiano and Malvasia Bianca.
