Can anyone tell me the difference between the aging time and oak aging of Chianti Reserva and Chianti Classico Reserva ? The CCR needs 24 months, does a generic Chianti also need 24 months? And does a sub-zone require 24 months also?
My pleasure - generally herbaceous notes that certain varietals may show more than others (such as Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon etc) or under ripe grapes
Jimmy, thanks so much for this video, helps alot! I do have a question, I have a Chianti Rùfina Riserva laying around, but I only see 'riserva' being used around the classicos. Is this Rufina Riserva a subzone of the subzone Rufina?

Thanks a Lot. Great work. What do you mean with "green" notes within the wine?

No - 'riserva' refers to ageing.
Just what I need 👍🏻
Everyone needs some Chianti from time to time ;-)
Grazie mille Jimmy ! :-)
