Description
Delve into the rich, aromatic history of one of Italy’s most revered wine regions. Join author Mike Madaio in an exploration of the origins of Chianti Classico DOCG, tracing its journey from Etruscan Tuscany to international acclaim. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, explore the intricate tapestry of tradition, innovation, and rivalry that led to Chianti Classico’s distinction from the broader Chianti DOCG.
Highlighting the unique history and pivotal historical moments, this monograph delves into the critical periods when differing philosophies about quality and production methods culminated in the two regions’ official separation in the 1990s. Deeply insightful but short enough to read in a few sittings, this monograph offers a comprehensive and engaging exploration of a wine that is more than just a drink—it’s a legacy.
