Last week, we opened one of the bottles of wine that we brought with us from our trip to Florence. I guess, we were too excited to open a bottle because it has only been two weeks since we came back from Italy. We got this bottle from a wine bar on Via Borgo San Lorenzo called Borgovino. It was super delicious so we thought of bringing a bottle with us to the States. We paired it with a round soft goat cheese with truffles that we also bought from a store called Borgo which is across the street from the winebar. Apparently, the winebar and that food store are owned by the same family. The owners are super friendly!

I live in Florence. Ormanni is one of the rare example of truth and original Chianti Classico no barrique no merlot-cabernet blendend no international style! Only the truly taste of Sangiovese. Impossible to explain!
And Generini's Famila are lovley!
"Humans" not "turist eater"!

thanks for visiting my blog. i absolutely enjoyed drinking the ormanni chianti classico. when i was in florence last year, i only drank chianti classico wines which are 100% sangiovese. loved it! i wonder if the ormanni winery hosts wine tastings? that would be a great destination when i visit florence again in the future. ciao!
