Our history
Our story begins in 1919 when the brothers Alfredo, Francesco and Alberto Pardi founded the Cantina Fratelli Pardi , at the time located on the ground floor of the San Marco Hospital, which belonged to the complex of San Francesco in Montefalco. At the time, the grapes produced were partly owned and partly purchased by local landowners. The wines produced were both white and red, but Sagrantino, at the time exclusively passito, was the most important production. The deliveries covered the entire Umbrian territory and sometimes took place outside the region, such as those destined for the Vatican. In 2002, driven by the common desire of the Pardi family not to lose a tradition, the great-grandsons Francesco, Gianluca Rio and Alberto Mario, with the help of their parents Agostino and Alberto, renovated the building in Montefalco to reconstitute the great-grandparents' winery. Today it is the brothers Gianluca Rio and Alberto Mario, with their enthusiasm and hard work, who strengthen the century-old bond between wine and the Pardi family.
