Chianti Classico
In the hills of Tuscany, where tradition still tastes like something
In the heart of Tuscany, between Siena and Florence, Chianti Classico has quietly defined Italian wine culture for centuries. These are not flashy wines. They are grounded. Balanced. Made by people who understand time.
Here, Sangiovese isn’t blended to impress, it’s left to express. Each slope, each vineyard, tells a slightly different story. From the silvery olive groves around Radda to the clay-laced hills near Castelnuovo Barardenga, this region speaks softly but with depth.
We work with a small number of producers who stay true to this land, not because it’s marketable, but because it’s home. They craft wines that evolve slowly, live with grace, and remind you why Chianti Classico, when made right, doesn’t need a spotlight.
Some Producers We Trust
Castell’in Villa
Near Castelnuovo Barardenga, Castell’in Villa doesn’t just make wine, they raise it slowly. The estate releases bottles only when they’re ready, not when the market asks. Their Sangiovese is structured, traditional, and meant to last. A place where quiet confidence speaks louder than trend.
Istine
Angela Fronti is part of a new generation: thoughtful, rooted, and precise. Her wines are pure expressions of Chianti Classico’s different soils, with each cru showing its own voice. This is modern winemaking with ancient respect: nothing forced, nothing overdone.
Monterotondo
High in the hills of Radda, this is the kind of place you only find if someone tells you about it. A small, family-run estate making soulful Sangiovese that feels handmade in the best way. No polish, no pretense. Just real and local beauty.
