My Chianti Classico Style
Wines are often described with words that raise more questions for many than they answer. For this reason I decided a few years ago to present the flavours of Chianti Classico together with the photographer Eva-Maria Mrazek (evatrifft.com): With fruits, herbs, flowers and leaves in the glass. In other words: In the wine glass you can see what the wine smells and tastes like. And because it's so beautiful, we also did it for Rosato, Vinsanto and olive oil.

Fine│SuperTuscans
Originally the term "Super-Tuscan" was used by Anglo-American wine journalists in the 80s. This meant wines that could not be classified as Chianti Classico, but often contained the best of a winery. In the meantime, the production conditions for Chianti Classico have changed: The focus is now more on the autochthonous Sangiovese grape and the Supertuscans have decreased overall. Some winegrowers still attach great importance to expressing the typical terroir with the international grape varieties. The offer is varied: Sangiovese in combination with international grape varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah, but also pure international or pure Sangiovese can be found. But all Super-Tuscans have one thing in common: they are red wines for the highest demands and special occasions, which can be stored perfectly.
