About Chianti Classico: Chianti Classico originates in the heart of Tuscany, in a growing zone reaching Florence to the north and Siena to the south. This is the birthplace of one the best-known and most widely appreciated wines in the world, guaranteed by the Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) certification which is the peak of the quality scale for Italian wines. Chianti Classico, with its distinctive and unmistakable trademark, the Black Rooster, is governed by production specifications which include a minimum of 80% Sangiovese grapes in the blend for this, the only “oldest zone of origin”, defined in its boundaries in 1716 by an edict issued by Cosimo III, Grand Duke of Tuscany.
Today, the Consorzio Vino Chianti Classico consists of over 600 member producers, of which around 350 sell their wine under their own label but are united by a shared symbol: only bottles displaying the traditional Black Rooster trademark contain true Chianti Classico wine.
