Fun facts

The name "Chianti" may only be used for wines that meet strict regulations. Sangiovese always forms the basis of the wine and gives Chianti its characteristic fresh acidity, cherry aromas, and excellent gastronomic character.

The name Roccialta is derived from the Italian words roccia (rock) and alta (high). The name refers to the rocky Tuscan hills where the grapes grow. It is precisely these lime and stone-rich soils that contribute to Chianti's fresh acidity, elegance, and characteristic taste.
