    Where does Chianti wine come from?

    Chianti comes from the Tuscany region. The Chianti area lies between the historic cities of Florence and Siena and is one of the oldest and most renowned wine regions of Italy. The region is famous for its hills, olive groves, and vineyards that offer ideal conditions for the Sangiovese grape, the basis of Chianti wines.

    What is Chianti Classico DOCG?

    Chianti Classico DOCG is a designation for Chianti wines of the highest quality. These wines can be recognized by their 'Gallo Nero' (black rooster) on the label. Chianti Classico DOCG comes from the heart of Tuscany, between the cities of Florence and Siena. To make Chianti Classico DOCG, the winemaker must follow specific regulations. The wine must be at least 80% Sangiovese. The remaining 20% can be filled with Canaiolo, Colorino, Trebbiano, and Malvasia (maximum 10%), or Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The production of Chianti Classico DOCG is also strictly regulated. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, and aging occurs in oak barrels. To achieve DOCG status, the wine must age for at least 12 months, and for a Riserva, it must age for 24 months. Thanks to these rules, Chianti Classico DOCG is considered one of the highest quality red wines in the world.

    What does Chianti taste like?

    When drinking a Chianti, the first thing you'll notice is its fruitiness. Flavors of cherry, raspberry, and strawberry stand out. The wine has a fresh, lively acidity that balances the fruitiness. The tannins are medium to high, giving the wine a solid structure. Additionally, Chianti wine contains aromas of spices such as clove and pepper. In aged versions, flavors of vanilla and toasted wood may also be present. This makes Chianti a versatile and balanced wine, perfect for pairing with various dishes.
