Chianti DOCG ist laut dem berühmten Weinkritiker Burton Anderson der größte aller Weine. Seit dem Mittelalter bekannt, hat Chianti Weinliebhaber und Künstler über die Jahrhunderte hinweg begeistert. Michelangelo, Machiavelli und Galileo Galilei, um nur einige zu nennen, priesen seine Qualitäten. Giuseppe Verdis Frau soll gesagt haben: „Verdi geht es gut, er isst, tobt im Garten herum, schläft und trinkt Chianti.“
