We are in the land of Sangiovese, the Tuscan vine par excellence, and we have been producing Chianti Classico for over 50 years, one of the best known and most appreciated Italian wines in the world, with the unmistakable brand of the Gallo Nero, whose history has its roots in ancient times in the hills overlooking the area between Florence and Siena. But even a land of reds can give birth to a pearl of white: in fact, a small production of white wine and vin santo is added to the production of Chianti Classico.
