Chianti
“kee-an-tee”
Chianti is prepared from 75-100% Sangiovese grapes, with any additional grapes being Canaiolo or other approved red grape varieties. Chianti is high in tannins and is usually oaked for several months, 7-24 months in the case of Chianti Classico. This results in a medium-bodied wine with notable earthy and rustic aromas. Common flavor notes include cherry, strawberry, dried herbs, balsamic vinegar, and smoke.
