Chianti is a type of red wine that is produced in the Chianti region of Tuscany, Italy, using primarily the Sangiovese grape. Chianti wines are typically medium-bodied and have flavors of cherries, herbs, and spices, with a high acidity and firm tannins. The wine is often aged in oak barrels, which can add additional flavors of vanilla and toast to the wine. Chianti wines are divided into several categories, including Chianti Classico, which is considered to be the highest quality and is made from grapes grown in the original Chianti region, and Chianti Riserva, which is aged for a minimum of two years and is known for its greater complexity and depth of flavor. Chianti wines are a popular choice for Italian cuisine, particularly pasta dishes and red meats, and are often served slightly chilled to bring out their flavors and aromas.
