Chianti Riserva is a type of Chianti that has been aged for over 3 years. This softens the tannins in the wine, and as a result, this kind of Chianti is considered of a higher standard compared to other types of Chianti.  There’s also Chianti Superiore, which is a very specific type of Chianti made with Sangiovese grapes that must have been grown in regions outside Classico. Chianti Superiore also needs to be aged for more than 9 months in order to get the label.
