With a few rather industrial exceptions (Villa Banfi
springs to mind), most Chianti vineyards are small operations where you
can taste the wines made on the estate if someone is available. During
the grape harvest, the vendemmia, for example, very likely no one
will be available. The aim of visiting these smaller wineries is to
discover a local Chianti Classico that really appeals to you. Normally,
they will have one or two years of Chianti Classico, maybe an IGT, a vinsanto
and their olive
oil. Sergio
Ballini's Podere San Cresci is a typical example of a small
winery producing excellent wines who
will offer a tasting when he can. Some wineries have quite nice tasting
rooms and some even offer a brief tour of the cellars - sometimes free,
sometimes you have to pay. "Terre
di Melazzano" has its sales point actually at the property. |
