Chianti vs Chianti Classico Wine (What's the Difference?)

We all know the famous Italian red wine from Tuscany, made from the Sangiovese grape variety - Chianti. But it can get confusing - there is Chianti and then there is Chianti Classico. In this video I will discuss what is the difference between these two wines. Are they different in style, production and grape composition? And should we really think of these wines as two separate styles?
