What Is Chianti Wine?
Chianti is one of Italy’s oldest and most prestigious wine regions, located in the heart of Tuscany. The wine is primarily made from the Sangiovese grape, which gives Chianti its signature style:
• Bright red cherry flavours
• Medium body
• Fresh acidity
• Subtle earthy notes
True Chianti must follow strict production rules, and wines carrying the DOCG classification represent the highest quality tier. This guarantees:
• Controlled yields
• Approved grape varieties
• Minimum ageing requirements
• Authentic regional character
Our Chianti DOCG Florentine Hills 2023 proudly carries this designation, confirming its quality and origin.
Why the Florentine Hills Produce Exceptional Chianti
The Florentine Hills are among the most respected sub-zones within the Chianti region. Vineyards here benefit from:
• Higher altitude sites
• Cooler night temperatures
• Well-draining soils
• Long sunny days
These natural conditions allow grapes to ripen slowly, developing complex flavours while retaining refreshing acidity. This balance is what gives great Chianti its famous food-friendly style and ageing potential.
The vineyards used for our Chianti DOCG Florentine Hills 2023 are carefully selected to ensure only the best fruit is used, resulting in a wine that is both expressive and elegant.
