An exceptional Chianti at a brilliant price, this should be hard to resist as a Whitfield Wines house wine. An absolute classic of a Chianti, and by far the best Aretini I have tasted at this price point.
Manucci Droandi is the blend of two families — the Manuccis and Droandis collaborating to further their success. The Mannuccis were landowners in Valdarno, at least from the early 19th century, and from the 18th century the Droandis were farmers in Carmignano, and it wasn’t until the late 20th century did they begin focusing their efforts on wine production.
Today, the estate continues to be family-run by Roberto Giulio Droandi, assisted by his wife, Maria Grazia Mammuccini and nephews Andrea and Matteo Mammuccini.
