The grapes are grown in the appellation of CHIANTI, predominately the Chianti Colline Senesi area, a historic wine district. This wine region lies between the ancient and beautiful cities of Florence and Siena.

Produced in accordance with the best tradition of CHIANTI wines —DOCG regulations mandate the strict percentage of grapes, low yield levels, alcohol volume and aging requirements —together with temperature-controlled technology.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
