Chianti Classico

Among the noblest wines , Chianti Classico was born on the hills between Florence and Siena, in one of the most important and ancient wine-growing areas of Tuscany . This famous denomination, also known as Gallo Nero , because of the historical symbol borrowed from the Chianti League, which has distinguished it over the years, represents the history of Italian enology : it was in fact one of the first "wine territories" to be officially disciplined over 300 years ago , when the Grand Duke Cosimo III delimited its boundaries, and the recipe for his blend based on Sangiovese dates back to the second half of the 19th century , when Baron Bettino Ricasoli formulated the original version in his Brolio estate.

With its intense aromas and dry and harmonious taste , Chianti Classico has always been a well-known and loved wine all over the world, but it is especially in recent years that the denomination has reached one of the highest quality levels of national enology , as evidenced by the impressive number of awards that the labels of this area have received. The Gambero Rosso, in the 2019 edition of the "Vini d'Italia" guide, awarded the prestigious recognition of the Three Glasses to 22 Chianti Classico , including those of Rocca delle Macie, Borgo Salcetino, the Riserva "Il Grigio" of San Felice , the "Marchese Antinori" Reserve and the Grand Selection "Riserva Ducale Oro" of Ruffino.
