I love Chianti

April 26, 2014 by Divina Cucina

I do love Chianti-the wine but more than that, I love Chianti the place and the Chiantigiani- the people.


Chianti is a huge region, where Chianti wine is produced. The original Chianti blend was established in the 1800s by Baron Ricasoli, at his estate in Gaiole in Chianti. Chianti Classico is a tiny part of the area, where the terroir was considered perfect for the raising of the grapes, giving them something special. Gaiole, Radda and Castellina are the three towns that originally were the heart of the Chianti Classico area.

Originally from California; Tuscany has been my home since 1984. I found the city of Florence to hold all my passions, food, wine, art all in one place. When I am not in Tuscany, I am often found in Sicily, my other favorite place to be. Always searching for recipes to share and exploring for the guides I write to my favorite cities for food and wine.
