Chianti Classico

Chianti Classico is a Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin (DOCG) wine which takes its name from an area with a strong and very ancient wine-growing vocation, straddling the provinces of Florence (30,400 hectares) and Siena (41,400 hectares). The production area and the reference grape (Sangiovese) had already been identified in 1700, so we can define it as the oldest disciplinary in the world! Over the centuries other grapes have been added to the composition of Chianti wine, including Canaiolo and Malvasia, but Sangiovese must be present at least in 80%. The types envisaged by the denomination are 3: Chianti Classico, Chianti Classico Riserva and Chianti Classico Gran Selezione and differ in the aging in wooden barrels, of increasing duration. It should be remembered that, outside the Chianti Classico area, there are 8 other areas with the Chianti DOCG denomination and they are: Chianti, Chianti Colli Aretini, Chianti Colli Fiorentini, Chianti Colli Senesi, Chianti Colline Pisane, Chianti Montalbano, Chianti Montespertoli and Chianti Rufina.
