Chianti
Chianti is one of Italy's most historic and popular red wines, and a symbol of Tuscany and the Italian wine world in general. Already widespread in the Middle Ages as shown by an accounting document of 1398, its modern characteristics were standardised by Baron Bettino Ricasoli who, in 1840, was the first to suggest the predominant use of Sangiovese grapes, limiting the use of Canaiolo and other varieties as blending grapes. It is historically produced in an area limited to the provinces of Siena and Florence, and later extended to the whole region. In recent decades, a qualitative revival has led to the recognition of a specific denomination for the Classico territory and seven historical sub-zones such as Rufina and the Colli Senesi, which have since become a guarantee of excellence.
