Il Tarocco

Chianti Classico Docg

In 1992, following the successful experience of Il Tarocco Riserva, we felt the need to create a vintage Chianti Classico that upheld the tradition of the terroir, by combining the freshness of the Sangiovese with the native vine Canaiolo Nero, having at the same time also a great potential of expression and evolution over the years: a wine that could be placed alongside with the Il Tarocco Riserva. Thus, the Chianti Classico Il Tarocco was born. The inspiration for the name and the label, as for the Riserva, is connected to the Tarots, ancient playing cards used for the divination of future and fortune.
