One of the Tuscan wines par excellence the fame of which has gone well beyond Italian borders.
Priduced using four varieties of grapes “mixed” in differing percentages, the most important being «Sangiovese» («red berry» wine, typical of central Italy) to which another «red berry» grape is added such as the «Cannaiolo» and two «white berry» ones, «Trebbiano» and «Malvasia».
To protect the production of the Classic Chianti there is, since 1924, a Consortium for the «Protection of Chianti Wine and the Origin Label » which has chosen as its mark of distinction the «Black Cockerel».
Chianti goes onto the market in two versions: normal and reserve, the former is a young and fruity wine, the second is more «important» to match with particularly substantial dishes such as «fiorentina», meat grills, Tuscan cured meats, seasoned cheeses.
