Description

What changes are on the horizon for Chianti Classicos? James talks with Giovanni Manetti, the owner of Fontodi Winery and president of the Chianti Classico Consortium, to find out how Gran Seleziones are doing in the marketplace. Giovanni takes James through sales of Gran Seleziones, the new subregion classification being applied to Gran Seleziones, and changes in the blend – specifically the minimum amount of sangiovese allowed, among other changes. He also breaks down whether winemakers can buy grapes for Gran Selezione and whether the consortium will still have a tasting panel.
