It wasn't until 1996 that Chianti Classico regained its autonomy, when the government granted a separate DOCG along its borders. Since then, Chianti Classico no longer considers itself a subzone of Chianti.\n\n\n \nMany Classicos today are made from 100% Sangiovese, but can contain up to 20% of other approved varieties grown within the Classico boundaries.

The grapes arrive in crates and are then inspected on sorting tables, ensuring only the finest bunches are bottled. This red wine is made according to the guidelines of the Indicazione Geografica Tipica, or IGT.
