Chianti Classico: The iconic "Gallo Nero"

If the story of a territorial gain of the Florentines against Siena thanks to the hasty crowing of a black rooster is a legend, the symbol of "Gallo Nero", which represents this victory, also identifies Chianti Classico wines. And to mark the 100th anniversary of the regrouping of this noble Tuscan appellation, more than thirty producers are coming to us to celebrate with you. In the form of a walk-around tasting, complete with antipasto stations, come meet and discover the know-how of Marchesi Antinori, Mazzei, Barone Ricasoli, Fontodi and several others, while nearly a hundred vintages, including several gran selezione crus, will be available to you.

Ticket price: $180
Ticket sale date: February 23
Event date: Saturday, May 4

Chianti Classico

If you were asked to name just one Italian wine region, it is highly likely Chianti would come to mind, which is normal, since Chianti has been Italy’s most recognizable appellation for what seems like forever. Here’s a closer look at the region, located in the heart of Tuscany.
