Chianti Classico Approves Additional Geographical Units and Tightens Criteria for Gran Selezione

The move will allow the names of 16 villages within the Chianti Classico production zone to be named on the label. The aim, so the Consortium, was to “to strengthen communication of the wine-territory combination, increase quality in terms of identity and territoriality, allow consumers to know where the grapes come from and, last but not least, stimulate demand by differentiating supply.”
