Started few days ago “Veglie nell’Aie di Montespertoli” a nice event to discover the farms around Montespertoli.
Every week a farm producing wine offers a snack and a glass of wine directly in the farmyard, or “aia” as we say in Italian. All the farms or agriturismo are located in the surroundings of Montespertoli and produce Chianti wine that get the guarantee of origin of Chianti Montespertoli or Chianti Colli Fiorentini. You can have a glass of wine for 1,50€ and “merenda” (afternoon snack) with a glass of wine just for 5€. Events go on every day from 4pm to 11pm.
