To celebrate the return of indoor dining, Chianti Classico Consortium and Italian marketplace and restaurant hub Eataly have partnered to share the joy of the Italian culinary tradition alongside the artistry of the country’s famed, food-friendly Sangiovese grape, the main variety of Chianti Classico’s legendary red wines.
Through November 1, Eataly will offer a curated selection of sixteen top Chianti Classico wines across its five American locations—New York Flatiron, New York Downtown, Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles—including a special menu dedicated to Chianti Classico at one restaurant at each location, where all included labels will be promoted on the wine list.
In addition, Eataly's new “Restaurant Delivery Platform” home delivery service will feature the wines as a pairing option, in addition to offering them for retail sale on eatalyvino.com.
“It’s no secret how important the U.S. market is for Chianti Classico,” said Giovanni Manetti, president of the Chianti Classico Consortium, in a statement. “More than one out of three bottles produced in our area are sold in the U.S. Chianti Classico winemakers are blessed with luck for being a part of a viticultural tradition that’s representative of Italian excellence; Eataly has the merit to know how to bring value to this heritage. We simply connected the dots—a process that besides creating and promoting a product wants to stimulate consumers to engage in a healthy and aware culture of food and wine.”
“We at Eataly are proud to carry out our role as passionate ambassadors for Italy and its incomparable heritage and culture of truly incredible food and wine,” said Dan Amatuzzi, senior beverage director of Eataly USA, in a statement. “Tuscany and Chianti Classico have always held a special place in the minds and palates of US travelers and consumers, and we are thrilled to be working with these sixteen amazing wineries in this special program that will bring the best of Tuscany to the American public.”
