Many are keen to note that no visit to Florence is complete without a glass of Chianti. Taken to go in a plastic cup with a lampredotto sandwich (the epitome of Florentine street food), or enjoyed in a crystal wine glass at the chic Michelin 3-star restaurant Enoteca Pinchiorri, Chianti and gastronomy have always made for a winning combination in the Tuscan capital.
Ostensibly produced in Florence’s backyard, this famous wine seems to have all but brought on another renaissance in the city’s cultural reputation. If you are planning to stay a few days in the city of the Medici, be sure to visit the Chianti Classico region nearby (known for its famous “Gallo Nero” symbol). Foray into the heart of an authentic Tuscan tradition.
