Producer Description
Bell'Agio in Italian means "easygoing lifestyle," and Bell'Agio Chianti evokes just that idea. Bell'Agio remains one of the few producers to still bottle in the straw "fiasco," invented hundreds of years ago to protect weak glass in transport and popularized in the US in the 1960s when Chiantis began to appear more readily on the market. As the quality of Chianti improved, it graduated to a more internationally standardized high-shouldered bottle shape. Bell'Agio brings you the best of both worlds - a great wine in a romantic package.
