Chianti

Welcome to our exquisite Chianti collection, where tradition, elegance, and the vibrant flavors of Tuscany converge. This carefully curated selection showcases the essence and artistry of Chianti, offering a captivating symphony of flavors and aromas. Chianti is renowned for its primary grape, Sangiovese, which imparts bright red fruit notes of cherries and raspberries, complemented by hints of violets, herbs, and earthy undertones.

From the iconic Chianti Classico region, where time-honored traditions and strict regulations ensure the utmost quality, to the lesser-known subzones like Chianti Rufina and Chianti Colli Senesi, our collection represents the diverse terroirs that contribute to the complexity and character of Chianti wines.

How to choose

When selecting a Chianti, consider the occasion and your personal preferences. For a casual gathering, a lighter Chianti such as the Santa Margherita Chianti Classico can be an excellent choice. For more formal events, a Chianti Classico Riserva like the Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva offers depth and sophistication that can elevate any dining experience.

Understanding the subzones can also guide your choice. Wines from Chianti Classico often provide a classic, robust profile, while Chianti Rufina may offer a more delicate, aromatic experience.
