During this Italian wine tasting tour in Florence, your guide will explain what exactly is a Chianti and that the important Italian grape of this region is Sangiovese and will share some of his useful food and wine pairing tricks.
For example, you will taste and understand why a Tuscan wine like a Chianti pairs deliciously with local cheeses and artisan cured Tuscan salami or how perfectly a beef stew is best paired with the wonderful Super Tuscan wines, which are usually a blend between international grapes like Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.
Your wine tasting is accompanied by traditional Tuscan appetizers such as Pecorino cheese (made with the sheep milk) and extra virgin olive oil, that is unlike any other olive oil in the country.
