Hi-Lo currently stocks the 2018 Chianti Riserva DOCG.  Chianti comes from the region of Chianti, located in central Tuscany, where Italians have been growing grapes since the 8th century B.C. Chianti is the land of the Sangiovese grape, and by Italian wine regulations, any wine labeled Chianti must contain at least 75 percent of this varietal, which is ideally suited to the Tuscan soil and climate. Chianti also contains Canaiolo Nero and Ciliegiolo. The different grape varieties give Chianti its bright ruby coloring and its bouquet of fresh violets.
