最近香港有一个新的楼盘推出 ，英文名字为Chianti。有一天经过它的广告的时候，我问Honey知否Chi-an-ti这个英文是甚麽意思。我本以为这不是英文，是法文、拉丁文或者是其他语言。但Honey很快便说出是Chian-Ti，是国语拼音。Ding！
今天早上，在经过同一个广告时，我再问我哥哥一次，结果他在第一时间也说出是一个国语拼音。原来我真的是死蠢！
然后，刚想把这楼盘的中文名字打出来，发现原来国语拼音并不是chian-ti，所以，这应该是广东话拼音！（这个楼盆的中文名字为尚堤，国语拼音为Shang-Di。）

Chianti is Italy's most famous red wine. It used to be easily identified by its squat bottle enclosed in a straw basket, called fiasco ("flask").
The popularity and high exportability of this wine at the moment of introduction of the DOC, has made in 1963 that many regions of central Tuscany didn't want to be excluded from the use of the name. As a result the large (for Italian standards) production area was split in seven sub-regions: Chianti classico, Rufina, Colli senesi, Colli fiorentini, Montalbano, Colli arretini, Colline pisane. Only wines labeled Chianti classico ar coming from the heart of the area that is traditionally atribuited to this wine. The other variants - woth the exeption of Rufina from the north side of Florence and Montalbano - are originated in the respective named provinces: Siena, Firenze (Florence), Arezzo and Pisa. It is based mainly on Sangiovese grapes but also includes other varieties, and traditionaly 5-10% of white grapes. Only since recently it is allowed to produce a Chianti woth 100% sangiovese, or at last without the white grapes. It typically has a picture of a black rooster (known in Italian as a gallo nero) on the neck of the bottle. The precence of this trademark says that the producer of the wine is associated with de Chianti consortium. Chianti and Chianti Classico that meets more stringent requirements, primarily with respect to aging (38 instead of 4-7 months), may be labelled Riserva.
Chianti is not the only traditional wine made in Tuscany, and there are also new wines, usually based on sangiovese and some popular french grape that are usually dubbed "Super Tuscans".
The word "Chianti" is used rather more loosely in the United States, to the chagrin of European wine-makers.

yes, it's an Italian region where is super famous for wine. and it should be pronounced as "ki-an-ti" - thus I have no clue to relate it cantonese or mandarin pin-yin...
