Uncork Exceptional Wines By Exceptional Women
From Anfora’s Instagram
In the heart of Tuscany, a powerful transformation is shaping the landscape of Chianti Classico wines, and it comes in the form of visionary women winemakers. The distinct terroir of the CHIANTI region, where Chianti Classico is exclusively produced, serves as the canvas for these remarkable wines. At Anfora, our longstanding admiration for these wines extends to a deliberate curation that champions women winemakers not only from Chianti but across the broader Italian viticultural panorama. A recent feature in The New York Times spotlighted the inspiring stories of several women who are not only challenging cultural norms but also excelling in the world of winemaking.
