If you’re a wine aficionado, then you’ve no doubt heard of Chianti wine. Chianti wine is produced in the central region of Tuscany that shares the same name. Chianti is a vineyard-filled region that produces large quantities of Chianti wine each year. This classic Italian wine is traditionally presented in a fiasco, a straw basket that holds the wine bottle, giving the packaging a distinct appearance.
As the most popular Italian red wine in Australia, Chianti wine is exported to admirers around the world. As a Chianti wine is a dry red wine, it’s a perfect accompaniment to most foods and can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. The exquisite flavour of Chianti wine largely comes from the grapes that it’s produced from. These are Sangiovese grapes, produced upon the fertile land of Chianti and freshly harvested to create this one-of-a-kind drink.
It’s said that the odour of Chianti wine reminds tasters of sweet berry fruits and herbs, with a blend of acidic flavour you’ll appreciate with each sip. Because of the wine’s fame, Tuscany wine-tasting events are held to sample Chianti wine and to appreciate its textured flavour.
