The region's history of winemaking dates back to the Etruscan period, and over the centuries, it has evolved into a symbol of Italian viticulture. The primary grape variety cultivated here is Sangiovese, known for producing wines with bright acidity, firm tannins, and flavors ranging from red cherries to earthy undertones. The combination of traditional practices and modern techniques has allowed Chianti Classico to maintain its reputation for quality and authenticity in the global wine market.ā
