CHIANTI RISERVA

80% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot

This appellation is located in the heart of the broader Chianti region. The boundaries were first defined in the 18th century, but enlarged significantly in the 1930s. This move was thought by many to have damaged the brand’s reputation, though such expansion is common across Italian wine regions. Today, Chianti Classico DOCG is considered by many to be the highest-quality offering for Chianti.
