Chianti wine

Chianti is a red wine from the Tuscany region of Italy, primarily made from the Sangiovese grape. It’s known for its bright acidity, moderate tannins, and flavors of red fruits, herbs, and sometimes a hint of earthiness. Traditionally, Chianti is bottled in a distinctive round flask called a "fiasco." The wine ranges from light and fruity to more robust and complex, often improving with age. Chianti pairs well with Italian cuisine, especially tomato-based dishes. Variants like Chianti Classico come from specific areas and have stricter quality regulations, offering a more refined tasting experience.
