Chianti Classico Tasting · Florence
A vertical or comparative tasting of Chianti Classico, the central Tuscan wine made from at least 80 percent Sangiovese in the hills between Florence and Siena.
Chianti as a place name dates to the 13th century; Baron Bettino Ricasoli wrote the original Chianti formula in 1872 (Sangiovese plus Canaiolo plus a small percentage of white grapes). Chianti Classico received DOCG status in 1984 and became an autonomous DOCG separate from Chianti by decree of 5 August 1996, covering the original hills between Florence and Siena and marked by the Black Rooster (Gallo Nero) consorzio seal. Le Volpi e l'Uva and Casa del Vino are the canonical Florence wine-bar references.
