Chianti - Chianti Classico

On the 16th of February started a week of tastings in Firenze of the Chianti anteprima and a few days later the Chianti Classico and the other well known Tuscany wines of Montepulciano and Montalcino.
I was not present all week but I think I have a good overview of the quality wines of Tuscany in the last, not yet released wines.
Is 2012 a good year? As I saw, it can be a good year but not a great year.
The consorzio of Chianti Classico, with their new president Sergio Zingarelli, from the Rocca della Macie estate, is planning to update the image of the “superior” image to the “simpler” Chianti.
It is starting by presenting the new more beautiful and vibrant logo of the “Back Rooster” logo.
