	Chianti, territory of Tuscany and home of Chianti Classico wine
		Geographical Chianti is a triangular territory whose boundaries are defined by the Arno Valley, between Florence and Siena, by the road that joins Arezzo to Siena, and by the Florence-Siena highway.
		Chianti wine is ruby-red in colour, tending to burgundy with age, with a harmonious taste, dry and fruity, slightly tannic, with an intensely vine-based scent accompanied by its characteristic perfume of violets.
		The 70,000 hectares of the Chianti Classico region include the districts of Barberino Val d'Elsa, Castellina in Chianti, Castelnuovo Berardenga, Colle Val d'Elsa, Gaiole in Chianti, Greve in Chianti, Impruneta, Monteriggioni, Radda in Chianti, San Gimignano, and Tavarnelle Val di Pesa.

	Chianti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the 1970s, producers started to reduce the quantity of white grapes in Chianti and eventually from 1995 it is legal to produce a Chianti with 100% sangiovese, or at least without the white grapes.
		Chianti is not the only traditional wine made in Tuscany, and there are also new wines, based on sangiovese (i.e.: Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Morellino di Scansano etc.) and some popular French grapes that are usually dubbed "Super Tuscans".
		Due to the wine's relative cheapness, its easy-drinking qualities, and the frequent use of the empty fiasco as a candleholder, Chianti is very strongly identified with Italian American cuisine, especially the "red sauce" variety pioneered by southern Italian immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th century.

	Gallo Nero the Black Rooster emblem of Chianti Classico wine
		The Chianti wine-producing area was delimited in 1932 by ministerial decree and the boundaries have remained unchanged since then.
		The decree described the district where Chianti Classico is produced as the "the oldest zone of origin", thereby recognizing its primacy and according it a special identity.
		The Chianti Classico climate is of a continental type, with relatively low temperatures in winter (4-5 degrees C. or 39-41 degrees F.) and dry, hot summers in which it is not rare for the mercury to rise as high as 35 degrees (95).

	Chianti (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The Gallo Nero and Chianti Classico producers believed that the Chianti Putto and the Chianti producers were trading, using a place name that was not in their territory, and that the quality of their wines were so low that it sullied the image of the word Chianti, which they shared as a calling card.
		Chianti Colli Senesi producers who reside either in the Montalcino zone, where Brunello is the top tier red, or in the Montepulciano zone, where Vino Nobile is the top tier red, had used the Chianti Colli Senesi category as a means to sell a lower tiered product.
		If one is married to the ancient word Chianti, one must also bear the consequences of an image sullied by decades of abuse, of an atmosphere polluted by decades, if not centuries, of infighting, and by the unethical practices of a few that ruin the game for many.

	ItalianMade.com - WINES: Chianti DOCG
		Chianti is a wine of extremely ancient origin but it was only in the Middle Ages that it began to be identified by the name of the geographical area in which it was produced.
		In the same period, the name Chianti was often applied to a certain vin vermiglio (vermilion wine) and a vin de Firenze (wine of Florence) and not to the wine of Chianti as the term is commonly understood today.
		Chianti's early success was due in great part to the strict enforcement of the regulations of the League of Chianti.

		Until the late 1970s, the image of Chianti in the United States was that of a cheap wine in a fiasco, the squat straw covered bottle ubiquitous on checkered tablecloths in low-budget trattorias.
		The sub zone of Chianti Rufina (not to be confused with Ruffino, a large Chianti producer) is generally considered superior to the previous sub zones and the equal of Chianti Classico.
