Chianti is the historic heart of red wine in Tuscany, Italy — a sweep of hills between Florence and Siena where Sangiovese has long been the leading grape. On WineFortune we currently track one wine from this sub-region: Fattoria Lavacchio, Rufina Ludie Riserva, Chianti, a still red from the producer Lavacchio, with vintages recorded from 2007.
Chianti reds are built on Sangiovese, prized for bright cherry fruit, firm acidity and savoury, earthy depth. The wine we track carries the DOCG designation, Italy's highest classification tier, and the Riserva style points to longer ageing before release. The Rufina zone, in the cooler hills north-east of Florence, is known for structured, age-worthy expressions of the grape.
The WineFortune index median for Chianti stands at €58 per 75 cl bottle, built from WineFortune's own trades and listings over the past 90 days. One wine is indexed, one is available in the shop, and the coverage rests on a single producer, so the figure reflects that one wine rather than the sub-region as a whole.
