…representativeness of the Consorzio Vino Chianti Classico is officially recognized by Ministerial Decree: it is the first wine consortium in Italy to obtain the erga omnes mandate, which allows it to carry out all the functions relating to its denominations of competence (Chianti Classico and Vin Santo del Chianti Classico).
And finally, we arrive at 2014, when the amendment to the product specifications establishing the Gran Selezione is approved. For the first time in Italian wine legislation, a new typology is introduced, placing itself at the top of the Gallo Nero quality pyramid, alongside Chianti Classico Annata and Riserva. It identifies wines made exclusively with estate grapes (i.e. vineyards under direct management, owned or rented), marketed after no less than 30 months of aging in the cellar.
