VIVA L´ITALIA
The Vino Chianti Classico Consortium marks the reopening of the food services sector with a dedicated event for restaurants in the “Friends of Chianti Classico” network. Over 70 Gallo Nero producers will bring some sparkle to the 25 different venues, on 25 evenings, offering a personal presentation of their wines, during special dinners dedicated to a perfect combination of Chianti Classico’s excellent wines and local fine food products.

Barberino Tavarnelle– The food services sector, an icon of Italian lifestyle, joie de vivre and conviviality has been one of the hardest-hit by the economic repercussions of the Covid pandemic. It also represents one of the main opportunities for people to enjoy Chianti Classico wines on a daily basis and this is why, in the last few days, the Consortium has launched a message of solidarity and good wishes to the Italian food services sector as it reopens, through a campaign featuring the historic Black Rooster depicted in the colours of the Italian flag. The message is strong and impactful:
“Cheers to Italy! Cheers to our ability to stand together, to provide and share, to our courage in facing challenges, our passion for our many natural ingredients and our skill in the art of transforming them. Welcome back, restaurants of Italy!”

As a further contribution to the sector, the Consortium is launching a project entitled “Make room at the table for a producer”: in the coming days, over 70 Gallo Nero producers will add some sparkle to 25 different evenings in restaurants belonging to the “Friends of Chianti Classico” network, which have shown particular attention to Gallo Nero wines, as well as fine wines in general. The Gallo Nero producers will present their wines personally during special dinners which will offer a perfect combination of Chianti Classico’s excellent wines and the fine foods served in the restaurants.
The format aims to help boost bookings in the newly opened restaurants, and motivate lovers of fine wines and food to come back to their favourite restaurants and hear the producers personally describing the features of the great wines they will taste.
Giovanni Manetti, Chairman of the Consorzio Vino Chianti Classico:
“Along with the restaurants, we are ambassadors for some of the most characteristic aspects of top Made in Italy products worldwide: passion, art and expertise in processing the extraordinary ingredients our country provides have been handed down through the centuries, and our work respects and protects them. Our producers have responded promptly to this call for support from the food services sector, and we hope to meet with the same enthusiasm from the public. Before launching an appeal to take part in the event, there was a more general invitation to start allowing ourselves enjoyable moments with our friends and loved ones again, in everyone’s favourite place to spend happy times together: the restaurant. We as producers will enhance this ritual with short, useful descriptions to help you get more familiar with Gallo Nero wines”.
