Chianti Classico has become the best known and today has around 7,000 hectares of vinyards and over 600 growers dedicated. Since 1996, Chianti-Classico has it's own production standards and is different to Chianti. Chianti allows the use of white wine grapes as well as a minimum of 75% Saint Giovese, whereas the Classico variety, only grapes can supplement a minimum of 80% Saint Giovese. Chianti Classico wines, tend to be medium bodied with firm tannins and medium-high acidity. The black rooster, that appears on the neck of the Chainti Classico bottle is a symbol of Consorzio Chianti Classico, a body representing the producers of the bottle.
