Chianti: a land of wine. Rough, wholesome,aggressive,cheerful; wine to enjoy, young from just-crashed grapes, or aged, together with a simple genuine Tuscan meal. Wine that only in a few areas has the right to call itself by the name of the land from which it springs and with which it has in common a long and tormented history.
