Governo

Name (leadership or power, also governo alla toscana) for the traditional method of making chianti, especially in the Italian region of Tuscany. This was also specified in the original recipe of Baron Ricasoli (1809-1880). A small proportion of the grapes are dried (10%) and only pressed at the end of November. The rot-resistant Canaiolo Nero and Colorino varieties are preferred, which also have a colour-enhancing effect as teinturiers.

Most of the carbon dioxide escapes, the remaining part gives the wine a typical characteristic that is noticeable through a slight tingling sensation when drinking. The alcohol and glycerine content is slightly increased.
