Over the next few weeks, we'll be counting down the top 10 Videos of 2013 on JamesSuckling.com. This ranking is based on number of views I hope you enjoy the series.
Starting with number 10, we have the trailer for our "Chianti Classico Diaries" series. Today, the spectacular Chianti Classico DOCG appellation produces some of the finest wines in Italy and the world.
The undulating region is quite spread out, which allows serious climatic variations among communes. These variations give the wines a diverse character. In a world where appellations can be as specific as vineyards - like Burgundy - it is not surprising that producers in Chianti Classico are discussing further delimitations.
This series covers each commune, showing the towns and visiting more than different estates. It also includes interviews with owners, enologists and members of the Chianti Classico Consorzio. The videos cover their wines, their comunes, their history, and the future of Chianti Classico. JGAL
