From Florentine hills up to Siena, you can hear... "the black rooster sing". The wonderful geographical area indissolubly linked to the production of the renowned Chianti wine is an excellent destination for relaxing holidays in close contact with nature.

• What is the magic of Chianti Classico? A predominance of Sangiovese (from 75% to 90%). A minimum alcoholic strength of 12° (12.5° for vintage wines). A bright ruby red colour, tending to garnet with aging. An intense vinous aroma, with strong notes of violet and a pronounced finesse that develops in aging. And a balanced, dry, sapid and lightly tannic taste, fining in time a velvety softness...

• Most of Tuscan farms in Chianti organize tastings of local wines. In addiction, some of them organize (usually upon request) guided visits to their vineyards and caves so that guests can plunge into the main phases of the production process: must preparation, vinification, bottling, etc.

• Chianti Classico is perfect served with traditional Tuscan dishes. Try it with the ripe cheeses produced in the area, such as the savoury "pecorino".
