Lanciola Chianti
Small-production Chianti, hand-picked and stocked in Commack.
The story behind Lanciola
Chianti comes from Tuscany, where Sangiovese is the backbone grape. Chianti Classico is the historic zone between Florence and Siena, and it must be at least 80 percent Sangiovese. The wine shows sour cherry, dried herbs and firm, food-friendly tannins, with brighter acidity than most reds.
We carry Lanciola in small numbers, one or two bottles at a time. The Riserva spends extra time aging before release, which softens the tannin and deepens the flavor. Ask for it by name at our Commack counter.

Which Lanciola is right for you?
The Lanciola Chianti Classico Riserva is 39.98 for a 750mL bottle, a fair price for an aged Tuscan red. Our Lanciola Chianti at 15.98 is currently out of stock, so call the store and we will tell you when more arrives. Both are priced as listed, no surprises at the register.
Enough structure for roast and braise, still easy to pour for a crowd.
Bright and food friendly, the kind of bottle to keep on hand.
Lanciola cocktails and pairings
Chianti wants food with fat and acid, so keep it simple and savory.
