The much celebrated wine-region of Chianti was first outlined in 1716. Since then the area has been redrawn and divided into seven sub-areas: Classico, Colli Aretini, Colli Fiorentini, Colline Pisane, Colli Senesi, Montalbano and Rùfina. Wines labelled “Chianti Classico” come from the largest of these sub-areas in the original Chianti heartland.
