Chianti Classico d.o.c.g. 2024
For centuries, the Chianti hills have been considered an ideal place for producing excellent wine.
In the 16th century, the celebrated painter Giorgio Vasari, while describing the allegory of Chianti depicted in Florence’s Palazzo Vecchio, referred to it as “adorned with horns overflowing with fruit, with a mature Bacchus at its feet, representing the exceptional wines of that land.” . Inspired by this centuries-old heritage, we continue to craft approachable and harmonious wines that express the authentic character and quality of the Black Rooster denomination.
