The Wines:

The “history” of the wines of Chianti Region is well represented in our cellars. We may say that in our cellar there is the greater collection of chianti wines, since Baron Ricasoli created it, is stocked here. We boast the most ancient and complete collection of Chianti Classico, with selections ranging from 1931 to 1985-86 for a total amount of 32.000 bottles. After that, we should say, the Chianti wine has become “commercial” with bad imitations of Brunello di Montalcino or the French wines. In our opinion, this has meant the end of a tradition that dates from the Etruscans.

The purpose of our activity, both for the Restaurant and the wine, is to keep alive the tradition and the products of our land, so that in our wine-list you will find, together with modern wines, the traditional “Chianti Classico” as it was conceived by Baron Ricasoli. The Chianti we offer is made of “ sangiovese” grape-vine (7/10th) which gives the wine body and colour, of black “canaiolo” (2/10th) for its flavour and softness, of “trebbiano” and “malvasia” grape-vine (up to 2/10th) to give the wine low acidity and lightness.
In the afternoons it is possible to taste the wines in the “ancient kitchen”, uncovering the labels only at the end of the tasting and evaluation. It is also possible to taste the wines at table, which is less professional but can be more pleasant, matching the wines to the different courses.
