P.S. Technically, there are 7 sub-zones of Chianti DOCG because Chianti Classico DOCG is it’s very own DOCG. Let’s thank Christine Marsiglio MW for that pro-nerd fact! 👏
P.P.S. It’s “Chianti Rufina” not “Ruffina” FYI. We caught the map spelling error a bit too late. 😬 Please forgive my heavy keystroke on “FFFFfffff.”

Isole e Olena!
Lovely, concise video. A few questions:
1. Is sangiovese the only permitted grape? I'm fairly sure I've seen others…
2. Which recent vintages are best for drinking now? I'm not patient enough to wait years.
My Wine has improved so much that my colleagues are pushing me to go be a Sommelier. All thanks to you
Congratulations on the new rollout. I love your videos and I'm sure your wine club won't disappoint!
Black rooster beats Super Tuscans
Lots of good Chianti out there! if you like Chianti, try Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.
Don't forget, fava beans go well with Chianti also! 😱🤣
One of my favourite wines, thanks for the info, cheers CB Australia, Wine folly member ❤❤
Beautiful Xx

amazing
The wine she drinks is a fantastic example of Chianti Classico Riserva. Love it!
Thank you for the break down on Chianti. Your new hair color is fabulous, please dress more modestly, so we can focus on the Wine information.
We have a few good Chianti's in Texas. When are you going to do a show on our wonderful wine region? Come on Madeline you'd love it, well maybe not the humidity. But I think you'd love it 🙂.
So enjoyed a riserva with puttanesca. Ty WF!!!
