Since its foundation, the Consortium has been involved in the protection, supervision and enhancement of the Chianti Classico appellation. From the Consortium for the defense of the typical Chianti wine and its brand of origin in 1924 to the Consorzio Vino Chianti Classico of today, the consortium has changed the names and graphic styles of its brand where, however, the historic symbol has always stood out del Gallo Nero. Today the Consortium of Chianti Classico Gallo Nero represents about 96% of the DOCG producers and is confirmed as one of the main referents of national and community institutions for the wine sector. Its internal organization includes structures dedicated to carrying out its institutional tasks: from the protection and services front, which sees the legal department engaged, to that of enhancement, entrusted to the marketing and communication department. The entire supply chain, from the production of the grapes to the bottling of the product, is subject to a traceability system, the data of which are entered in a computerized database of public use. A system that allows consumers from all over the world to verify the origin of the bottle they have purchased. The Consortium also implements a strict control on the packaged product already present in the sales channels. Another important activity is research and experimentation in the agronomic and oenological field, carried out by the Consortium in collaboration with prestigious training and research institutes at local and national level.
