What is the difference between Chianti and Chianti Classico wine?
Chianti is a broad DOC appellation covering much of Tuscany, while Chianti Classico is a smaller, historic DOCG zone between Florence and Siena with stricter production rules and minimum ageing requirements. Chianti Classico wines use at least 80% Sangiovese grapes and carry the Black Rooster (Gallo Nero) seal. They are generally considered more structured and complex than standard Chianti. On this tour you taste both Chianti Classico and Super Tuscan wines at a single estate.
What is a Super Tuscan wine?
Super Tuscans are premium wines made outside the traditional DOC/DOCG regulations — often blending Sangiovese with international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. Because they fell outside official classifications when first produced in the 1970s and 80s, they were labeled simply as table wines, yet commanded some of Italy's highest prices. Famous examples include Sassicaia, Tignanello, and Ornellaia. This tour includes a tasting of Super Tuscan alongside Chianti Classico.
What does a Tuscan extra-virgin olive oil tasting involve?
Olive oil tasting (frantoio) follows a similar sensory approach to wine: you assess colour, aroma, and taste — looking for the distinctive peppery finish and grassy notes of fresh Tuscan DOP oil. An expert guides you through the differences between varietals and harvest times. Tuscan olive oil, made predominantly from Frantoio, Moraiolo, and Leccino olives, is among the most prized in Italy for its low acidity and intense flavour.
How far is the Chianti wine region from Florence?
The Chianti Classico zone starts about 20 km south of Florence — a 30-40 minute drive through increasingly scenic hills. The estate visited on this tour is within the heart of the Chianti Classico DOCG, accessible by minivan from central Florence without any public transport connections. The drive itself through vineyards and cypress-lined roads is part of the experience.
Can children or under-18s join this Chianti wine and olive oil tasting tour?
Yes — minors are welcome on this tour. The Tuscan lunch at the estate and the olive oil tasting are both fully accessible to all ages. Guests under 18 will not be served wine; they will receive soft drinks instead. Please mention at booking that you are bringing minors so the estate can prepare accordingly.
