Note: Chianti Classico is a separate DOCG and not a subzone of the Chianti DOCG.
Note: The Chianti Rufina consorzio has created the proprietary designation TerraElectae or TerrÆlectae (from the Latin terræ electæ, “chosen soils”), which is usable only by consorzio members for Riserva-level wines made from 100% Sangiovese grown in the Rufina subzone. Among the requirements for the term’s use, the wine must be aged for a minimum of 30 months, including 18 months in barrel and 6 months in bottle. The term is not an official part of the DOCG’s disciplinare.
