Named after a pesky local bird and the sound of chirping chit-chat with friends, this red blended from local Tuscan varieties is full of bright, ripe cherries and finishes with a rustic earthiness that rounds out the flavors. It goes especially well with the classic Italian tomato-based dishes, and also with spicy foods.

Staff Pick Notes

Elisabetta Fagiuoli is regarded as 'The Soul of Chianti,' a 'living metaphor of her land,' and a trailblazer for women winemakers by so many in the world of wine, and she is regarded by me as a total badass. With over 50 vintages over the course of her career (she was crushing grapes at the age of 5), she embodies independence, determination, and respect both in wine and in life. Although I fell in love with her white wines first, 'Il Garrulo,' a blend of all 4 traditional Chianti varietals, is my new favorite. This bottle is certified organic, and the bright berry and deep violet aromas leap out of the glass. On the palate is even better - the lively red fruit and hint of cocoa begs for sip after sip. A perfect bottle in general, but especially perfect to pair with chocolate covered strawberries, a movie night, and your Valentine.

More About This Wine

Canaiolo

Also called Canaiolo Nero, this black grape is cultivated in Italy, but not as widely as in years past. After the 19th century's phylloxera epidemic, Canaiolo vines proved difficult to graft onto healthy rootstock, so it was grown much less. Today there are still pockets of Canaiolo vineyards throughout Tuscany, and it is an allowed ingredient in Chianti - in fact, in the 18th century it was even more crucial to the character of that beloved blend than Sangiovese.

Sangiovese

Italy's most planted grape variety is at the heart of some of the most beloved wines in the country. Grown all over the region, but especially in Central Italy, Sangiovese is the only grape allowed in Brunello di Montalcino, and the main grape in Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Chianti, and countless other delicious Italian blends. Sangiovese has shown itself in recent years to be an excellent complement to Cabernet Sauvignon in red Italian blends; this grape duo forms the basis of many of the...

Tuscany

When you think of Tuscan wine, think of Sangiovese, the grape that is common to most great Tuscan reds (Vernaccia is the only white wine made here). Brunello di Montalcino, one of the most complex expressions of Sangiovese, has the best aging potential. Vino Nobile di Montepulciano shows the softer side of the grape, containing up to 20% of other varieties. Young Chianti often smells of fresh fruit and herbs, while Chianti Classico Riserva can be dark and brooding. The term “Super Tuscans”...
