Chianti - Canty (English spelling) chianti Italian

This wine is produced in the Chianti region of Tuscany in central Italy. It is also called Chianti. Most of it is red. The grapes used are mostly Sangiovese (red), and it is also blended with Canaiolo Nero (red), Trebbiano Toscano (white), and Malvasia del Chianti (white). It is produced using a unique method called the Governo method. After the main fermentation, grape juice that has been dried in the sun for several weeks is added to the wine, and the secondary fermentation is carried out for about 20 days, which is a method that makes the wine drinkable at a young age. The alcohol content is about 12%. Chianti became famous worldwide because of its container, which is a flask-shaped bottle filled with Chianti, inside a straw basket called a fiasco. Chianti is a normal wine and is loved by the masses, but there are also high-class varieties. However, in this case, the Governo Law will not be applied.

Japanese:

イタリア中部、トスカナ州キアンティ(キャンティ)地方で生産されるワイン。キアンティともいう。大部分が赤である。原料ブドウはサンジョベーゼ種(赤)が大半を占め、そのほかカナイオロ・ネーロ(赤)、トレビアノ・トスカノ(白)、マルバジア・デル・キァンティ(白)種との混醸でつくられる。製造法はゴベルノ法とよばれる独特の方法がとられる。主発酵の終わったワインの中へ、別に数週間天日で乾かしたブドウの搾汁(さくじゅう)を加え、約20日間、二次発酵を行う方法で、これはワインが若くて飲める特色がある。アルコール分は約12%。キャンティが世界的に有名になったのは容器のためで、フィアスコとよばれる麦藁(むぎわら)で編んだ籠(かご)の中にキャンティを詰めたフラスコ型の瓶が入っている。キャンティは並酒で、大衆に愛される酒であるが、なかには高級酒もある。しかしこの際はゴベルノ法はとらない。
