IL PROMOCONSORZIO Di VINO
100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY of The CHIANTI CONSORZIO
1924 – 2024
GRAND TASTING – NEW YORK
April 29th 2024
It was a most wonderful and historic event. The biggest and best names in Chianti gathered in New York City for a Grand Chiabti Wine Tasting of The Best Chianti Wine in the World, including all the great current vintage so fof Chianti Classic, Chianti Classico Reserva, Vin Santo, and Chianti Classico “Grand Seleczione” wines of The Region of Chianti Classico, in Tuscany.
The most revered people in all of Chianti were lead by Giovanni Manetti – The Head of The Chianti “Gallo Nero” Consorzio, found in 1924, and Celebrating the 100 Year Anniversary of the consorzio in 2024, in Greve in Chianti, New York and around the World.
I was so happy to see all my good friends who make Chianti, including Giovanni Manetti, Roberto Stuzzi (Badia Coltibuono), Conti Sebastiano Capponi “Conti Capponi” of Villa Calcinaia in Greve, my good friend Cavalieri Luigi Cappelini of Castello Verrazzano (Greve), Andrea Cecchi and his daughter Julia of Cecchi Wines, Gundrnd Cuillo of Azienda Agricola Liverno in Radda, and many more.
Not only did we get to drink all of the current vintages Chianti, but we were treated to many wonderful old vintage Chianti wines, including : Villa Calcinaia Chianti 1969, Castello Verrazzano Chianti 1964, oansanto Chianti “IL Poggio” 1969 and numerous other old vintage Chianti from other producers. It was an amazing treat to taste all of the wonderful wines, but as always, as much as the wine is of great importance and pleasure, it’s always getting a chance to see and be with all my old Italian Friends (Italian Wine Estate Proprietors), as well as catching up with New York Italian Wine Friends, like : Charlie Sicciolone, Vince Attard, and Antonio Pinella.
Yes it was a most memorable day, Chianti, Good Friends, and the Celebration of Great Italian Wines and the men and women who make them. “I thank you all, for your friendship, wine, and history.”
Thanks,
Daniel
