Chianti Classico Flask 1 lt

Squarcialupi’s Fiasco di Chianti Classico is a tribute to the Tuscan winemaking tradition, combining the iconic stuffed bottle (the fiasco) with the superior quality of Chianti Classico DOCG produced by Fattoria La Castellina in Castellina in Chianti.

Here are the main details about this product:

1. The Wine: Squarcialupi Chianti Classico

• Producer: Fattoria La Castellina (Squarcialupi Estates).

• Composition: Predominantly Sangiovese (about 90-95%) with a small percentage of Colorino.

• Characteristics: This is a wine with a lively ruby red color. The nose offers notes of red fruits (cherry, morello cherry) and violet, with a slight spiciness. In the mouth it is fresh, savory and with well-balanced tannins.

• Certification: Being a “Classico,” it always bears the Black Rooster symbol, which guarantees that it comes from the historic and oldest area of Chianti.

2. The Format: The Fiasco

The flask is the typical round-based bottle covered with straw (marsh grass). Although for decades it was associated with simple table wines, Squarcialupi uses it to ennoble a high-end wine:

• Design: It represents a piece of Tuscan craft history. It is often chosen as a gift or as a decorative element for rustic and elegant tables.

• Capacity: Usually available in standard 750 ml or 1.5 liter (Magnum) size.

3. Matches :

• Ideal pairings: Goes well with traditional Tuscan cuisine:

  • Cold cuts and aged cheeses (Pecorino Toscano).

  • First courses with meat sauce or wild boar.

  • Grilled meats (Florentine steak).

Historical note: The Squarcialupi family has been linked to Castellina in Chianti since the Middle Ages. Fattoria La Castellina, which produces this wine, is based in the historic Palazzo Squarcialupi in the center of the village.
