When you think to Tuscany, you surely imagine beautiful hills, rich in vineyards that originate one of the most famous wine in the word: the Chianti wine. What’s the story of this wine?
First of all you must know that the Chianti is an area in Tuscany just south of Florence. To the west there are the Pesa and dell’Elsa valleys, to the east are the Chianti Mountains, and south lies the enchanting city of Siena. It is a marvellous territory rich in colours and perfumes which change season after season. It’s important to specify that “Chianti” and “Chianti Classico” are two different DOCG, which have different rules of production.

In particular “Chianti Classico” wine must be produced just from grapes grown in the same production area with, at least, 80% of Sangiovese grapes. Bottles can release for consumption from the 1st October after the harvest but, for “Chianti Classico Riserva” the ageing must last for a minimum of 24 months and at least 3 months of which must age in bottles.

Here you can visit a lots of cellars, walk in the vineyard and discover this marvellous wine by tasting or in the restaurant with typical Italian dishes.
