Chianti Classico Collection 2022, the annual event to present the new vintages returns to its classic formula or with the presence of the producers. The event will take place in Florence from 21 to the 22 March at the Leopolda Station, a two-day event open exclusively to sector operators and the press. To access the event it is mandatory to register by 18 March. Over 180 manufacturers and more 700 labels among Chianti Classico Vintage, Riserva e Gran Selezione, Vin Santo del Chianti Classico and DOP Chianti Classico Oil.
The absolute novelty is the format which highlights the fairly recent division of the territory into Additional Geographical Units (UGA) introduced by Chianti Classico Consortium with a modification to the specifications approved on 16 June 2021 by the members' assembly with the aim of further enhancing the distinctive characteristics of the Consortium's wines and their territoriality.
Some areas within the Chianti Classico production area have therefore been identified and delimited, distinguishable on the basis of specific criteria such as oenological recognizability, historicity, notoriety and significance in terms of volumes produced: Castellina, Castelnuovo Berardenga, Gaiole, Greve, Lamole, Montefioralle, Panzano, Voice, San Casciano, San Donato in Poggio and Vagliagli.
A second change to the specification concerns the blend of the Classic Chianti Gran Selezione, with the increase from 80 to 90% of the minimum percentage of Sangiovese and the introduction of the obligation to use the remaining native red grape varieties 10%.
