How do you say "Chianti, Chianti Classico" in Italian?

‘Chianti’ and ‘Chianti Classico’ are D.O.C.G wines. The name dates from the 13th century, although it is only comparatively recently that chianti became known as only a red wine. It is based on Sangiovese grapes, but includes other varieties. It is an officially recognised quality wine, but wines known as ‘Chianti’ can be very different from each other.

‘Chianti Classico’ has its own region, and should be treated distinctly from ‘Chianti’.  The ‘gallo nero’ or ‘black rooster’ is the symbol of Chianti Classico.
