Region of Origin

The Chianti Classico region is one of the world's most historically significant wine regions. Officially established by decree in 1716 under Cosimo III, Grand Duke of Tuscany, this area includes the townships of Castellina, Radda, and Gaiole, located just north of Siena. Renowned for its exceptional wine production, Chianti Classico is recognized for its high-quality reds, which embody the rich tradition and unique terroir of Tuscany.

The Chianti Blend

The Chianti blend is a celebrated mix of grapes, primarily featuring the Sangiovese variety, which is the cornerstone of Tuscany's viticulture. This classic blend may also include lesser-known Tuscan grapes such as Canaiolo, Colorino, Ciliegiolo, and Mammolo. These complementary varieties contribute to the wine's complexity and depth, resulting in a harmonious and well-balanced profile that defines some of the most esteemed wines from the Chianti region.
