Upgraded Drinks Package in Florence

Chianti

Nothing is better than a glass of Chianti, crisp and fresh, perfect for pairing with the savory Florentine food. Among all the Tuscan red wines, it's the one that is meant to be drunk younger and not aged for long. In general, Chianti Classicos are described as medium-bodied wines with firm, dry tannins. The characteristic aroma is cherry but it can also carry nutty and floral notes as well.

Morellino di Scansano

The wines are dry reds from the Sangiovese grape variety, known here as Morellino. They're produced in the rolling coastal hills around the medieval village of Scansano. Scansano's viticultural origins date back to Etruscan times, and the quality of the local wines has been documented for centuries. This style of Sangiovese differs from its northern brethren due to the ripeness levels it can achieve in southern Tuscany. The result is a rounder and more savory style of wine.
