Albert Heijn's wine buyers search all over the world for the most special wines for the AH Excellent Selection. Special because they come from a new area, or are very classic, from a well-known winery or made by trendsetting winemakers. An AH Excellent Selection wine has something to say. Chianti Classico comes from a special part of Tuscany. Only wines made from grapes from specific vineyards located between Florence and Siena are allowed to list Classico on the label. Chianti once originated in this historic zone. According to some, the best Chiantis still come from here. The quality is undoubtedly related to the unique terroir, but also to the extra strict requirements that are set for a Chianti Classico. Our buyers were looking for a wine in the typical Chianti Classico style. In other words, a medium weight wine with the juicy taste of ripe cherries, stimulating acids such as in red berries, some herbs and a firm structure. A wine to eat with.
