At the core of Tuscany’s winemaking heritage is Chianti Classico, one of Italy’s most famous and beloved wines. Made primarily from the Sangiovese grape, Chianti Classico is known for its vibrant acidity, firm tannins, and flavors of ripe cherries, red berries, herbs, and earthy notes. With its signature black rooster logo, this wine is a symbol of tradition and quality. <br /><br /> Chianti Classico wines can range from light and fruity to more complex and age-worthy expressions, depending on the producer and the specific vineyard location. This versatility makes Chianti Classico an excellent companion for a wide variety of dishes, from hearty Tuscan pasta like pappardelle al cinghiale (wild boar ragu) to pizza, grilled meats, and even aged cheeses. It is a wine that embodies the rustic charm and warmth of the Tuscan countryside.
