Technically not a sub-zone of Chianti DOCG. Sits at a higher altitude, so slower ripening. Chianti Classicico DOCG Riserva will have tertiary notes upon release.
Chianti DOCG notes: Covers a wide area of the Apennine Mountain foothills. Slightly warmer than Chianti
Central Italy notes: Apennines Mountains run right through it.
Italy notes: Italian wines are named for the Region they are made in, not the grapes used in the wine. |
