Accordingly, two separate DOCG designations apply to wines from the Chianti region: the Chianti Classico DOCG for the heartland of Chianti, and Chianti DOCG for all other Chianti regions. (In 1984, the Chianti region was promoted from DOC to DOCG - Italy’s highest classification - and in 1996, Chianti Classico - the historic heartland of the region - DOCG was created, which gave autonomy to that region.

The Chianti Classico DOCG is located in the very center of Tuscany, between Florence and Sienna.\\n\\nTuscany is Italy's third most planted region (behind Sicily and Apulia) but it is eighth in terms of output. After Piedmont and the Veneto, Tuscany produces the third-highest volume of DOC\/DOCG wines. More than 80% of the regions' production is in red wine, with the Sangiovese grape being Tuscany's' most prominent grape. Trebbiano is the leading white variety of the region.\\n\\nThe history of viticulture in Tuscany dates back to the Etruscans in the 8th century BC. From the fall of the Roman Empire and throughout the Middle Ages, monasteries were the main purveyors of wines in the region. As the aristocratic and merchant classes emerged, they inherited the share-cropping system of agriculture known as mezzadria. Many Tuscan landowners would turn their half of the grape harvest into wine that would be sold to merchants in Florence. Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Tuscany returned to the rule of the Habsburgs. Chianti, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Super Tuscan are Tuscany’s best known wines.\\n\\nSangiovese (or Nielluccio in Corsica), a dark-berried vine, is the most widely planted grape variety in Italy. Virtually synonymous with the red wines of Tuscany, and all the romanticism that goes with the territory, Sangiovese is the core constituent in some of the great names in Italian wine. Italy's love affair with Sangiovese – and indeed the world's – is generations old, though recent grapevine research suggests the variety is not as ancient as once thought.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16370588},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 5 Stars Wine - The Book - Vinitaly \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Falstaff \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Decanter World Wine Awards \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;92\/100 5 Stars Wine - The Book - Vinitaly (2021 vintage)\\n91\/100 Falstaff (2021 vintage) \\n90\/100 Raffele Vecchione, Wine Critics (2021 vintage) \\n90\/100 Wine Enthusiast (2021 vintage) \\n16\/20 Jancis Robinson (2021 vintage) \\nBronze - Wine Spectator (2021 vintage) \\nBronze - CellarTracker (2021 vintage) \\n91\/100 James Suckling (2020 vintage) \\n90\/100 Raffele Vecchione, Wine Critics (2020 vintage) \\n90\/100 Wine Enthusiast (2020 vintage) \\n90\/100 Falstaff (2020 vintage)\\n16\/20 Jancis Robinson (2020 vintage) \\nBronze - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (2020 vintage) \\nBronze - Wine Spectator (2020 vintage) \\nBronze - CellarTracker (2020 vintage) \\nBtonze - The Wine Independent (2020 vintage) \\nCommended- Stephen Blandford, The Real Review (2020 vintage) \\n\\nBronze - Decanter World Wine Awards (2021 vintage)\\nSilver - Mundus Vini (2020 vintage) \\nBronze - Decanter World Wine Awards (2020 vintage)\\n\\nOrganic - currently undergoing certification \\n\\nFalstaff \\\u0026quot;Medium ruby red with slightly lightening rim.

Medium bodied, light tannins and a pleasurable finale of medium distension.\\\u0026quot; (2021 vintage) \\n\\nWine Enthusiast \\\u0026quot;A combination of vanilla, tar and rose petals on the nose meets with wild herbs and fresh red fruit. Cranberries, strawberries and cherries on the palate stay in balance with more savory notes of tar and rock, pressing up against firm tannins.\\\u0026quot; (2021 vintage) \\n\\n\\nDecanter World Wine Awards \\\u0026quot;Red fruit with gamey notes on both nose and palate with a touch of oak.\\\u0026quot; (2021 vintage) \\n\\nJames Suckling \\\u0026quot;Aromas of dried strawberries, orange zest, stones and licorice, followed by a medium body with firm tannins rounding off the savory berry fruit.\\\u0026quot; (2020 vintage) \\n\\nRaffele Vecchione, Wine Critics \\\u0026quot;Slightly shy on first impact showing notes of geraniums, hibiscus and guaranà.

Cherries, strawberries and raspberries meet up with cranberries and hibiscus on the palate, with hints of vanilla, milk chocolate and finally some orange pith for astringency.\\\u0026quot;  (2020 vintage) \\n\\nFalstaff \\\u0026quot;Shiny ruby sheen. On the nose nuances of fresh cherries, plums and also showing fine floral tones.

Accordingly, two separate DOCG designations apply to wines from the Chianti region: the Chianti Classico DOCG for the heartland of Chianti, and Chianti DOCG for all other Chianti regions. (In 1984, the Chianti region was promoted from DOC to DOCG - Italy’s highest classification - and in 1996, Chianti Classico - the historic heartland of the region - DOCG was created, which gave autonomy to that region. In the last 20 years, a consortium of Chianti Classico producers have researched new Sangiovese clones, replanted vineyards, updated cellar practices and generally made Chianti Classico DOCG a world-class appellation. Chianti Classico must contain a minimum of 75% Sangiovese. In the 2014 edition of its annual compendium of wine ratings, Gambero Rosso noted that Chianti Classico DOCG wines were noteworthy for their “significant return to a more defined style, true to tradition.” The typical Chianti Classico wine is a ruby-red, Sangiovese-based wine with aromas of violets and cherries and a hint of earthy spice.\\n\\nThe Chianti DOCG designation covers wines from six Chianti sub-zones (Colli Pisane, Colli Fiorentini, Colli Senesi, Colli Aretini, Montalbano and Rufina) as well as all other Chianti wines. The Chianti Classico DOCG is located in the very center of Tuscany, between Florence and Sienna.\\n\\nTuscany is Italy's third most planted region (behind Sicily and Apulia) but it is eighth in terms of output. After Piedmont and the Veneto, Tuscany produces the third-highest volume of DOC\/DOCG wines. More than 80% of the regions' production is in red wine, with the Sangiovese grape being Tuscany's' most prominent grape. Trebbiano is the leading white variety of the region.\\n\\nThe history of viticulture in Tuscany dates back to the Etruscans in the 8th century BC. From the fall of the Roman Empire and throughout the Middle Ages, monasteries were the main purveyors of wines in the region. As the aristocratic and merchant classes emerged, they inherited the share-cropping system of agriculture known as mezzadria. Many Tuscan landowners would turn their half of the grape harvest into wine that would be sold to merchants in Florence. Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Tuscany returned to the rule of the Habsburgs. Chianti, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Super Tuscan are Tuscany’s best known wines.\\n\\nSangiovese (or Nielluccio in Corsica), a dark-berried vine, is the most widely planted grape variety in Italy. Virtually synonymous with the red wines of Tuscany, and all the romanticism that goes with the territory, Sangiovese is the core constituent in some of the great names in Italian wine. Italy's love affair with Sangiovese – and indeed the world's – is generations old, though recent grapevine research suggests the variety is not as ancient as once thought.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16370588},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic - currently undergoing certification\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFalstaff\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Medium ruby red with slightly lightening rim.
