Description
Chianti Classico: The Search for Tuscany's Noblest Wine tells the story of the evolution of Chianti as a wine region, revealing its geographic and cultural complexity. In 1716, Cosimo III, the penultimate Medici ruler, established the world's first legal appellation of origin for wine in this historic region.
The book explores the modern-day winegrowers transforming the region and delves into the secrets of Sangiovese, the principal vine variety of Chianti. With the three hundredth anniversary of the Medici decree marking a significant milestone, this publication offers a fascinating insight into one of Italy's most storied wine regions.
Bill Nesto and Frances Di Savino guide readers through the townships of Chianti Classico, introducing them to the people behind the wine. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in wine, Italian culture, or the history of food and drink.
