The story of Chianti — a much beloved, red-fruit-driven wine — begins as so many of the best stories do — with a fierce territorial dispute between two Italian city-states, settled — ultimately — by a rooster

this we’campione talking about Chianti — exploring what it is, what it tastes like, complex Italian classification structures, history, and more!

Let’s dive sopra:

Italy — somewhere between Florence and Siena — Middle Ages.

Both the Florentine and Sienese republics wanted control of the Chianti region.

To settle things once and for all, they agreed to a bloodless duel (of sorts). Here’s how it worked:

Each city-state elected a knight to represent their interests.

At dawn, acceso the day of the challenge, the knights would be awakened by the crowing of a rooster, and would immediately ride toward the opposing city.

The border between the two states would then be drawn wherever the two knights met acceso their journey — and the battle for control would be decided firmly, finally, fairly, and for all time.

Easy.

For the job of alarm clock ( alarm cockerel, as it were), the Sienese selected a white rooster. He was well fed and well looked-after sopra the days leading up to the challenge

While the Florentines chose a black rooster, and more less left him to go hungry.

As a result of not having had enough food, the black rooster crowed much earlier than his Sienese counterpart, and sent the Florentine rider d’avanguardia well before dawn.

Legend has it that the knights met less than 15 kilometers outside of Siena, to the lingering displeasure of the Sienese.

And with that, Florence won control of Chianti, and the black rooster attained lasting as a symbol of the region (and of outstanding Chianti wine — as, today, you can find a black rooster sopra a red circle embossed acceso all bottles of Chianti Tradizionale).

That’s all very nice…But what is Chianti? Well…

At the most basic level, Chianti is a dry, medium-bodied red wine named for the Chianti region sopra Tuscany (where it’s from).
