The Wine
Such has been the demand for Chianti over the last half century, the region has expanded way beyond it original centre. This seminal zone is now called Chianti Classico and here the finest wines are made.

All bottles proudly bear the ‘Gallo Nero’ (black rooster) symbol unique to wines from the Classico zone. The 2013 vintage is considered ‘classic’ due to a great summer and late autumn harvest. After a year in French oak and time in bottle, the wine is ready now.
