More about the Chianti Classico DOCG: Chianti classico, the oldest area of origin of Chianti wine, covers nine municipals districts, between Florence and Siena. Its production, under the symbol of the Black Cockerel, is strictly regulated: only certain vines, Sangiovese grapes (75% - 100%), Cannaiolo Nero (maximum 10%), and other specified grapes maybe used. The wine is a bright ruby red with time. Vinous, with a hint of violets and distinctively subtle aroma when aged: smooth, dry, palatable, slightly tannic taste, that becomes velvelty with ageing. Minimum alcohol content 12°. The Riserva version (12,5°) is aged in casks and further aged in bottles. Asa young wine, it goes well with grilled red meat; when aged, excellent with game and robust flavors.
