My pleasure!

[@shariqueahmer11]

It tastes best with fava beans and liver.

[@aaronpascoe4758]

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?

[@1485jacquetta]

So useful 😊 thank you

[@WineWithJimmy]

You're welcome 😊

[@richtusser]

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?

[@WineWithJimmy]

No - 'riserva' refers to ageing.

[@rekhabaghel5843]

Thanks

[@WineWithJimmy]

No problem

[@jenspoertscheller4314]

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

[@WineWithJimmy]

My pleasure - generally herbaceous notes that certain varietals may show more than others (such as Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon etc) or under ripe grapes

[@thomasdevries2854]

AreZzo Also major city and part of the Chianti denomination

[@WineWithJimmy]
