Few wines can boast such a noble heritage as this - one of the oldest families in Italy, the Strozzis were once powerful bankers, statesmen and rivals to the Medicis. Niccolò Machiavelli began his illustrious career in their employ and among their famous ancestors is one Lisa Gherardini del Giocondo, the 'Mona Lisa'. The family can even claim Winston Churchill as a distant relative! Their ancient estate dates back to 994 and boasts prime vineyards in the heart of Chianti. Winemaker is Franco Bernabei, one of the finest in all Italy, whose top wines are among the most highly rated in the country. Barrel aged, this Chianti is ideal with steak or lamb as the acidity will cut through the richness of the meat and the fruit will come to the fore.. Drink By Date - 31/12/2018. Allergens - Sulphites.
