Chianti Classico PDO olive oil 2022 has a delicate green color and golden hues; its aroma expresses fresh, grassy sensations, hints of artichokes and green almonds, typical of the designation; its flavor shows enjoyably confident bitterness balanced by a pleasantly lingering piquant finish. The most interesting technical fact is without doubt the yearly outstanding level of polyphenols.
The Black Rooster denomination, Chianti Classico DOCG, continues its upward trend. 2020–2022 closed with a 6% increase in volume in average bottle sales over the previous three years. Global values increased 17% compared to 2021 and an exceptional 46% since 2020 (data source: Maxidata Observatory).
2022 Chianti Classico harvest looks promising: Sangiovese grapes showed their resilience and capacity for adaptation to climate variations. The area's olive groves proved to be hardier than the dry spell that marked this summer. Chianti Classico’s woodlands, widespread non-intensive farming, and rich biodiversity create a solid foundation to withstand extreme weather conditions in the future.
The Consorzi Vino Chianti Classico and the Chianti Classico DOP Olive Oil have put together a new promotional initiative for the Swedish, Italian, German and French markets. The three-year programme called MEET (Magical Experience of European Taste) aims at combatting the phenomenon of counterfeit denomination products and maintaining consumer’s interest in high-quality agricultural products.
2022 will mark the return of tourism to Chianti Classico. In addition to the natural beauty and world class food and wine, visitors will be drawn by the MEET Chianti Classico Experience: contemporary art exhibitions spread across the region, classical music concerts in the cellars and modern theatre performances in the piazzas.
