Have you ever wondered where the gallo nero or black rooster, the symbol of Chianti Classico, came from?
Today I posted a brief history of its origins for one of my new clients and a winery that I adore, La Porta di Vertine in Chianti Classico.
The post was inspired by recent changes in labeling requirements in the appellation.
But as soon as I started digging into the origins of the iconic rooster, I just couldn’t help myself (and I realized that the origin story is not readily available in English).
And check out the wines: they are super.
Thanks for reading…
