Nina in Chianti
Chianti Classico Expert
Chianti Classico is not just a red wine. It is a region, a culture, a way of life. And that's exactly what I want to pass on - with heartwith brainwith background.
Here you can find out who I am, what drives me, how I work - and what you can discover with me.

I'm Nina in Chianti and a Chianti Classico expert. In my store you will find wines that I like to drink myself. And everything that goes with it: recommendations, food pairings, podcast episodes, courses, tips for travel, wineries and festivals.

Then I know: the spark has been ignited.
Who I am
I'm Nina - married, at home in Salzburg, in love with Chianti Classico and my greatest passion is this wine region in Tuscany - with everything that goes with it: cuisine, landscape, people, atmosphere, wine. When I talk about it, my eyes light up. At least that's what the people who get to know me say: I love cooking, enjoying myself and spending time with friends. Chatting is my core competence - especially when it comes to wine. And when I'm not baking bread, sitting at the opera or stroking my cat Bianco, you'll probably find me among the olive trees in Panzano or in a fisherman's hut in the Lofoten Islands - with a glass of wine in my hand.I'm convinced that you don't need much to be happy.A good conversation. An honest wine. The smell of fresh bread. Or a moment when everything just fits.
What makes me special
I believe in wine - but not in blah blah blah.
I believe in enjoyment - but not in "goes well with dark meat".
And I believe that people understand much more when you take them seriously - not with technical jargon, but with images, stories and enthusiasm.
That's why I prefer to describe wines figuratively:
For me, an elegant Chianti Classico is a lady in a hat. Turn of the century. Appearance with attitude. An image like that sticks in your mind.
I don't see myself as a wine merchant in the traditional sense - but as a translator.
I translate the diversity of this region: the soils, the climate, the grape variety - but also the philosophy of the people behind it. Because in the end, it is their decisions, their vision, their attitude that shape a wine. And that's exactly what I want to make visible.
