Chianti “red” denomination is the biggest one in Tuscany and Italy, and one of the territories, but also the Italian words, best known in the world. Thanks to the beauty of its landscapes, the success of its wines, but also to the many cinematographic quotations. Very famous is the one in which Professor Hannibal Lecter, in “The Silence of the Lambs” pronounces the disturbing phrase: “I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti”.
But there is also an episode of the “Simpsons”, one of the most successful and longest-running cartoons in history, set in a Tuscan village where Chianti is produced, and a scene from the legendary “007 From Russia with love” where at the Orient Express restaurant, next to a bottle of champagne there is a flask of Chianti, to name just a few among the many other.
