WINE DESCRIPTION
Candoni Chianti is a classic Italian red wine produced by the Candoni family, who have been making wine for over 150 years. This wine comes from the Chianti appellation, which is located in the heart of Tuscany and is known for producing some of Italy's most famous wines. The vineyards used to make Candoni Chianti are situated on rolling hillsides with a mix of clay and limestone soils, which give the wine its unique character. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is medium-bodied with a bright ruby color and flavors of cherry, plum, and spice. It has a balanced acidity and a smooth finish, making it a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of foods.
