What is Chianti famous for?
Chianti is an Italian export as famous as pasta and espresso. For many years, Chianti was known as a sub-par wine, thanks to overproduction and dilution. Traditionally, Chianti bottles were surrounded by a straw basket known as a ‘fiasco’—an ironic, if appropriate name that came to represent its reputation.
Is Montepulciano worth visiting?
