Chianti gets its name from the region it is produced in central Tuscany, Italy. It was historically associated with a squat bottle enclosed in a straw basket. Predominantly a dry red wine, it is crafted from the Sangiovese grape, which produces the main body of its flavour. It contributes bright acidity, notes of red cherry and plum, and a touch of earthiness, creating the classic Chianti taste profile. 

Beyond the classic complex red, Chianti offers a surprising range of white and rosé variations  with a fresh and fruity finish.

Another type originated within this region is Chianti Classico, renowned for its stricter regulations, resulting in a range of higher quality wines. Explore the nuances of Chianti Rufina, Colli Senesi, or Montalbano and discover the unique characteristics each area brings to the table.

Chianti's vibrant character promises to enhance your dining experience. Lighter Chiantis call for lighter dishes, while richer ones can handle bolder flavours. Embrace the Tuscan philosophy of tomato-based pasta sauces, pizzas, grilled meats and bold cheeses such as gorgonzola.
