It offers a classic expression of Tuscan Sangiovese-style wine: balanced acidity, transparent fruit character, pleasant structure, and hints of earthy and herbal complexity. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"600\" data-end=\"648\"\u003eGrape Varieties \u0026amp; Appellation Background\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"649\" data-end=\"1306\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"649\" data-end=\"899\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"651\" data-end=\"899\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"651\" data-end=\"673\"\u003eGrape composition:\u003c\/strong\u003e As with typical Chianti Classico Riserva wines, the base grape is Sangiovese — often 80 – 100% — sometimes blended with small proportions (up to 20%) of other traditional red varieties. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"900\" data-end=\"1306\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"902\" data-end=\"1306\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"902\" data-end=\"928\"\u003eAppellation standards:\u003c\/strong\u003e For a wine to earn the “Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG” designation, it must be made under the strict regulatory framework that governs Chianti Classico wines.
