Villa Trasqua Fanatico Chianti Classico Riserva faithfully reflects the soils of Tuscany and the winery’s traditional winemaking heritage.
The name Fanatico refers to the passion and dedication with which Villa Trasqua cultivates the vines growing on its sunlit hillsides. The estate’s history stretches back centuries in the heart of Chianti Classico, and the vineyards are located on breezy, sun‑drenched hills.
Chianti Classico DOCG in Tuscany is one of Italy’s most renowned and prestigious wine regions. In this area, red wines must contain at least 80% Sangiovese. The remaining permitted international varieties include Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah. A selection of local grape varieties from the region may also be included.
The wine ferments in large 5,000‑liter wooden vats at a low temperature. Maceration lasts for at least 25 days, adding color, structure, and deep aromatics to the wine. It is aged for a minimum of 24 months in Slavonian oak barrels, followed by at least 12 months of bottle aging before release. This extended maturation ensures a harmonious and multi‑layered wine.
Thanks to its long maturation, the wine continues to develop beautifully for many years. Villa Trasqua’s Chianti is a wine that invites slow enjoyment and memorable dining experiences. It truly shines alongside a variety of meat dishes, classic Italian cuisine, and flavorful vegetarian dishes. Serve it, for example, with rich pasta dishes such as Bolognese or lasagna. It is also excellent on its own, especially in the final, relaxed moments of the evening.
