My first memory about Chianti I was born in Tuscany and since I was a very little child, I was hearing this word: Chianti. A word that my imagination sees as it was red, liquid and dramatically tasty. Chianti is an area in Tuscany, Italy well-known for its red wine. The first memory I have about Chianti is, in fact, the Chianti Wine. I was less than 10 years old when my father tried to let me taste a very small quantity of Chianti Wine… blah….. I still remember the too much stronger flavour. It happens while we were in our Ape car after going to a farmer who sold Chianti wine. It was not about the Chianti Wine we see today stocked with a top prestigious bottle, but it was the simple and real Chianti sold by farmers some decades ago. I had 13 years old when I tasted again a small glass of Chianti wine and finally I thought.. oh wow, I like it. It was during the Christmas holiday, waiting for the New Year’s Eve. I was dining with family at my uncle’s place. I really love its home, a very typical Tuscan house with a great fire in the rustic style dining room. Since that day I became a lover of red wine, not only Chianti and actually it is not my fav red wine, anyway this is not the focus of that post.
