Wines of Chianti

My husband and I took my mother in law to Tuscany last week where we spent 5 days driving around Chianti wine country. Wines from this region of Italy are my absolute favorite. While there we stopped at a number of beautiful vineyards where we partook in wine and olive oil tastings. We tasted a number of Chianti Classicos, Chianti Riservas, and Super Tuscans. My favorite was the Classico followed by the Super Tuscan. Whenever I buy wine at a store or a restaurant I always look for the Chiantis first. Its always good but there is nothing like drinking it in Italy while overlooking the vineyards, the huge Tuscan villas, and the Tuscan countryside- bellissimo!
