An important new book on Chianti Classico: Winners of the Andr Simon 2013 award for their book The World of Sicilian Wine, Nesto and Di Savino have produced the investigative, scholarly and detailed book that Chianti Classico has long deserved. Nesto and Di Savino are brilliant historic investigators. . . . A mustread for anyone seriously interested in wine.Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.comThis book tells the story of the ancient land named Chianti and the modern wine appellation known as Chianti Classico. In 1716, Tuscanys penultimate Medici ruler, Cosimo III, anointed the region of Chianti, along with three smaller areas in the Florentine State, as the worlds 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 strawcovered flask.In the twentyfirst century, Chianti Classico emerged as one of Italys 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 modernday 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 Italys 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.Winner of the following awards:2016 Andr Simon Food & Drink Book Award: Drink Books Category2017 International Organization of Vines and Wine: Jury Award, Monographs2017 International World Cookbook Awards: Sustainable, For the Public Category2017 Gourmand International World Cookbook Awards: Drink Special Awards Category
