    Chianti Classico

    See our program

    Chianti is an Italian wine producing region between Florence and Siena in central Tuscany. The best wine comes from Chianti Classico in the central part of the area.

    Chianti Classico is a blend of four varieties. Sangiovese is the most important, forming at least 75%, and imparting the typical Chianti flavor.

    Sangiovese's flavor predominates. This red grape produces a wine with a bright ruby-red color. It has a spicy aroma of wild berries. The flavor offers black cherry and raspberry. It is a refreshing drink that can be complex and ages well for up to ten years.

    Brunello di Montalcino

    See our program

    Brunello di Montalcino was invented, or codified, in 1888 by Ferruccio Biondi-Santi, whose descendants continue to produce brunello today. The wine is made from 100 percent sangiovese grapes, the grape that dominates Chianti, but from a different clone called sangiovese grosso or brunello.

    Valpolicella Classico

    See our program

    The vineyards are situated on about 450 hectares in the classical Valpolicella Hills area Northwest of Verona, which are mostly concentrated in the town of Negrar. The most used system of cultivation is the traditional PERGOLA system, with about 2,500-3,000 plants per hectare. The average age of the vines is 20 years. The cultivation of the vineyard has among its primary objectives the maximum possible degree of respect for nature: for this reason, biological techniques are used, and pesticides are used as little as possible.

    The harvest is done entirely by hand, with many selections for special wines, such as the Amarone, produced from single vineyards to exalt its characteristics.

    Amarone

    See our program

    Amarone is the Veneto's principal collector's wine, and it is built to last: Because of its high alcohol content, thick tannins, and deep concentration, it is a wine typically aged from three to six year before it is released. It is a unique wine in that it is approchable when young but can also spend twenty to thirty to years or more in bottle and still be rich and satisfying when opened.
