Nunzi Conti Chianti Classico 2019

What a score at this AMAZING price. Just landed, direct from Italy --- the guys are unloading the truck, as we speak. We love this wine of course, and the Nunzi family’s beautiful Tuscan dream-farm, replete with every magical postcard image of Italian wine country you ever saw (watch out for the goats, pigs, chickens, and more). The CELLAR --- seriously, it dates back to the 1400s! Just a fantastic little find -- truly amazing.

The wine is soul-warming, as noted above, redolent of cherries, dried cherry, sweet rhubarb, red plums and dried flowers, pomegranate and a touch of blood orange, rich and beautifully fresh and harmonious. UTTERLY delicious in every way – not to mention THE PRICE!

** Did you know? The “Black Rooster", so prominent on Chianti Classico labels, has a great story. It begins during the middle ages, after years of a bloody war between the republic of Florence and Siena over control over the Chianti region. One knight was chosen to fight from each side. Each side had to choose a rooster to wake them. The Sienese chose to be awoken by a white rooster, and the Florentines chose a black rooster. The Florentines' rooster awoke first and the knight thus got a head start. The rooster on the Sienese side awoke the knight later in the morning. Thus the winner was the Florentines, and the black rooster has stuck as the symbol of Chianti Classico. **

ONLY 36 CASES! Excellent drinking all-year round!
