Foodie, if your posting was “as clear as can be” I would not have asked the question. Anyway, thanks for your reply.

My experience over here prompts me to say I do not agree that the three-year aging requirement is not necessarily widely practiced in Italy. Your experience obviously differs.
You are correct in pointing out that Matteson asked only about Italian wine. Mind you, I don’t think my mentioning A.C. will have confused him. If it did, I hope he will accept my apologies.

My fault was to give information that was not pertinent to his question. However, surely that is preferable to misleading information such as Kcw gave in regard to “Classico”. As I recall the question it did not mention Chianti, only “Classico” (and “Riserva”). Therefore, to state ““Classico” is a sub area in the Chianti region” full stop (I think you say full point) is very misleading because it infers a Chianti relation only. Which, whether one lives in the U.S. or the back of beyond, is incorrect. T.
