Chianti Classico Wine Vs Chianti Classico


Chianti classic is a royal wine that comes from the beautiful location of Chianti, and it is known for its rich taste and beautiful colour. The rich ruby colour is the symbol of great quality as far as the wine is concerned, and this is possible because it is produced in the extremely fascinating grape producing region of Chianti. Sangiovese grapes are used to produce the Chianti Classico wine with a small portion of Merlot into it. These grapes are produced 450 to 600 meters over the sea level, and this provides it with its great taste and flavour. It is enriched in floral aroma, and you will get a hint of fruit and spices in it. Fermentation is done properly, and the young wine is out in the market only after 18 to 20 months of second level fermentation.

Chianti Classico Riserva goes through more levels of fermentation than Chianti Classico wine, and it is sold in the market only after 24 to 30 months of secondary fermentation. The temperature is very crucial for the proper fermentation. The taste of the wine is well balanced and you will a hint of wood and tannic flavour in the wine. Its intense ruby colour makes it look royal and appealing.
