While Chianti is divided into several areas,the most recognizable is Chianti Classico. Withmore than 200 classified vineyards producingChianti Classico alone, the range of tastes andstyles possible in Chianti is virtually limitless. Yetall of the wines share the personality of Sangiovese.The most distinctive character of the grape is thesweet/tart cherry fruit flavor. Richness andintensity varies, as does use of oak, andimportantly, which of the other grapes are used to<strong>com</strong>plete the blend, whether Canaiolo, CabernetSauvignon, or the white Trebbiano or Malvasia.Regardless of style, Chianti offers lots of characterand quality for the price. Chianti Classico Riserva,which must be aged for more than three years, isconsidered the best.Antinori Marchese Chianti $29.99Riserva 05Wine Spectator 91Antinori Peppoli Chianti Classico $23.9907Wine Spectator 90Banfi Chianti Classico $12.99Banfi Chianti Classico Riserva $14.97Bellini Chianti $9.99Tuscany, Italy– This is a high quality Chianti at aneveryday price.
