The ORIGINAL RECIPE of CHIANTI WINE, written by Rt. Hon. Baron Bettino Ricasoli in 1872:
“Mi confermai nei risultati ottenuti già nelle prime esperienze cioè che il vino riceve dal Sangioveto la dose principale del suo profumo (a cui io miro particolarmente) e una certa vigoria di sensazione; dal Canajuolo l’amabilità che tempera la durezza del primo, senza togliergli nulla del suo profumo per esserne pur esso dotato; la Malvagia, della quale si potrebbe fare a meno nei vini destinati all’invecchiamento, tende a diluire il prodotto delle due prime uve, ne accresce il sapore e lo rende più leggero e più prontamente adoperabile all’uso della tavola quotidiana…”
