The name Chianti to indicate a wine produced in Tuscany is recorded since the 13th Century. In 1716 Cosimo III de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, issued an edict defining the borders of the Chianti production area, located between the cities of Florence and Siena. Today we still refer to the Chianti region based on the definition given by a 1932 law that extended the Chianti area to include territories around Arezzo, Pisa and Pistoia.
