Discover Chianti
CHIANTI AREA
Gentle and luxuriant landscape, medieval village rich of historical and artistic monuments: welcome in Chianti!
Tuscany covers a vast area between Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, celebrated home of the most famous of Italian wines!
The Tuscany is an invitation to discover natural landscape an area of Chianti, in the heart of the Tuscany, offering amazing contrasts in environment, habitat, scenery and broad valleys of vines, olives and corn, are contrasted by the Tuscan Uplands - a large group of lower, rolling hills.
Perhaps many American's think of a bottom heavy bottle encased in straw and crowned with a candle, when you mention "Chianti", but to anyone that has travelled to this lovely, low mountainous region with its vast wooded areas, vine covered hills, olive groves, historical monuments – medieval settlements, Renaissance country-house – and alls of services guaranteed by such tourist area, in order to recall happy times in Tuscan countries.
CHIANTI WINE
Chianti wine runs from a basic table wine that can be made from a wide blend of grapes, to a Chianti DOC having a more stringent chemistry, to that of the prized Chianti Classico Gallo Nero, IGT, DOCG Riserva - a wine made from a specific grape combination, fermented and bottled under rules arising from law and tradition.
Chianti Classico, the top designation of wines, is only granted to those vintners that produce their wines under restricted conditions and are from that area which is designated as "Chianti Classico".
This top level wine, blending 70-75% San Giovese black grapes, 5-10% Canaiolo, also black, 5-10% Malvasia and 5-10% Trebbiano, both white. The Chianti Classico wines are very drinkable. A balanced and generally medium bodied wine, mild up front, with a decent body and pleasantly finished, go with most anything you order.
Because of its alcohol content or perhaps by some magic - Chianti Classico seldom makes you drunk and does not produce a hangover. A fact that Tuscans point out quite proudly.
Many of the villas we have, located in Chianti, are on working vineyards and produce an excellent wine which is often sold at wonderful prices to the guests.
CHIANTI MONTESPERTOLI
Montespertoli is part of the Chianti Classico. On the surrounding hills that reach a height of 257 m, are cultivated grapes and olive-groves for the production of best quality olive oil and wine.
Infact, within this wine-growing area, the so called Strada del Vino di Montespertoli (engl. the wine route of Montespertoli), is produced an excellent wine, such as the red wine Chianti di Montespertoli DOCG and the DOC-wines (wines of certified origin and quality) Chianti Colli and Chianti dell'Etruria centrale. These types of wine are famous all over the world.
The numerous winery nearby, offer you wine-tasting that is accompanied by many other typical Tuscan products.
