Chianti from the 1970s tasting box
Chianti through the 70s – three historic wines from Tuscany
Experience Chianti as it looked more than 50 years ago.
This tasting box brings together three Chianti wines from 1971, 1973 and 1978 and offers a rare opportunity to taste your way through an entire decade in one of Italy's most traditional wine regions.
Three different producers. Three different vintages. One common thread: Tuscany and Sangiovese.
The box contains:
Riserva Ducale Chianti Classico Ruffino 1971
We begin with one of the historic names in Tuscany. Ruffino was founded in 1877, and Riserva Ducale has become one of the house's best-known wines. The 1971 vintage has now spent more than half a century in bottle and offers a chance to experience Chianti Classico in a completely different phase from the wines we normally meet today.
Expect a fully mature wine experience, where fresh fruit has given way to more developed nuances of dried cherries, spices, leather, tobacco and forest floor.
Chianti Classico Brolio 1973 – Barone Ricasoli
Brolio and the Ricasoli family are closely tied to the history of Chianti. This bottle from 1973 takes us straight back to the classic Tuscan wine tradition – complete with the characteristic historic bottle style.
Here you get yet another interpretation of Sangiovese and the opportunity to compare the wine directly with the Ruffino from just two years earlier.
Chianti Classico Castelgreve 1978
The youngest wine in the box concludes the journey through the 1970s. Five years after Brolio and seven years after Ruffino, you get yet another perspective on how Chianti Classico develops over decades in bottle.
The mature Sangiovese character is expressed through notes of dried red fruits, spices, leather and earthy nuances.
Three bottles. One decade. More than 150 years of combined wine history.
What makes this box interesting is not just opening three old wines – but opening them together.
Taste 1971, 1973 and 1978 side by side and experience the differences between the vintages and the producers, while Chianti Classico and Sangiovese tie the whole tasting together.
An obvious tasting box for an evening with other wine enthusiasts, for the Tuscany enthusiast, or for you who are curious about how classic Italian wine develops after more than 45 years in bottle.
Only a limited number of boxes are available.

How it handles
you your wine
Storage
Store the bottle horizontally at 12–14°C and avoid direct sunlight, vibrations, and temperature fluctuations.
Opening
Allow the bottle to stand upright for 24–48 hours before opening to allow sediment to settle. Use a professional corkscrew and open carefully.
Enjoyment
Serve at 17–18°C and be patient – there is a great difference in how and how quickly wines open up when they are aerated.
