Wine tasting with Cantina Borgunto

Chianti is a renowned red wine from the Tuscany region of Italy, celebrated for its distinctive flavors and vibrant acidity. The wine is primarily made from the Sangiovese grape, which gives it its characteristic cherry and plum notes, along with aromas of herbs and spices.

Chianti’s history dates back to the 13th century, and it has evolved over the years, particularly with the introduction of specific regulations and classifications. The most recognized designation is Chianti Classico, which comes from the historical heart of the Chianti region and is marked by its black rooster seal. This designation ensures strict quality standards, requiring a minimum of 80% Sangiovese in the blend, with the remainder often made up of indigenous grapes like Canaiolo and Colorino, or international varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

The flavor profile of Chianti is complex, often characterized by its bright acidity and earthy undertones. It pairs exceptionally well with a variety of foods, particularly traditional Tuscan dishes such as pasta with tomato sauce, grilled meats, and aged cheeses.
