The origin of the name Chianti is not certain: some versions indicate the Latin word clangor (noise) to remind the noise of the hunting in the forests of the area; according to others the name comes from the Etruscan word clante (water) the area was rich of, favouring the growth of the grapes.

Selected Chianti vineyards with sandy, clayey and calcareous soil. Old traditional vinification method: completely mature grapes are harvested from vineyards and processed in membrane presses. Soft presses, fermentation at controlled temperatures and prolonged maceration with the skins.

Delicious partner to spicy pasta dishes. Ideal with roasts, steaks and grilled veal.
