This book tells the story of the ancient land named Chianti and the modern wine appellation known as Chianti Classico. In 1716, TuscanyÕs penultimate Medici ruler, Cosimo III, anointed the region of Chianti, along with three smaller areas in the Florentine State, as the worldÕs first legal appellations of origin for wine. In the succeeding centuries, this milestone was all but forgotten. By the late nineteenth century, the name Chianti, rather than signifying this historic region and its celebrated wine, identified a simple Italian red table wine in a straw-covered flask. Ê In the twenty-first century, Chianti Classico emerged as one of ItalyÕs most dynamic and fashionable wine zones. Chianti Classico relates the fascinating evolution of Chianti as a wine region and reveals its geographic and cultural complexity. Bill Nesto, MW, and Frances Di Savino explore the townships of Chianti Classico and introduce readers to the modern-day winegrowers who are helping to transform the region. The secrets of Sangiovese, the principal vine variety of Chianti, are also revealed as the book unlocks the myths and mysteries of one of ItalyÕs most storied wine regions. The publication of Chianti Classico coincides with the three hundredth anniversary of the Medici decree delimiting the region of Chianti on September 24, 1716.

Delve into the rich, aromatic history of one of Italy's most revered wine regions. Join author Mike Madaio in an exploration of the origins of Chianti Classico DOCG, tracing its journey from Etruscan Tuscany to international acclaim. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, explore the intricate tapestry of tradition, innovation, and rivalry that led to Chianti Classico's distinction from the broader Chianti DOCG. Highlighting the unique history and pivotal historical moments, the book delves into the critical 20th-century period when differing philosophies about quality and production methods culminated in the official separation in the 1990s. Deeply insightful but short enough to read in one or two sittings, this monograph offers a comprehensive and engaging exploration of a wine that is more than just a drink—it's a legacy.
