Unesco recognition is getting closer for Chianti Classico, the iconic Tuscany region that gave birth to one of the world’s most famous Italian wines. Thanks to the beauty of a unicum that tells centuries of history and “enlightened anthropization”, and harmoniously stratified, until today, of that still intact landscape, and, at the same time, productive and industrious, which unfolds between Renaissance Florence and Siena of the Middle Ages: the “system of Chianti Classico villa-farms” has been officially included in the table of the Italian “proactive list” of candidate sites for World Heritage.

This is the first and most important step towards achieving prestigious recognition from a territory that is the “archetype” of Tuscany, as described in this video. Not only unique and unmistakable landscapes, history, and culture, Renaissance art: Chianti Classico is a district which, with wine as the pivot around which olive oil, quality agriculture, catering, hospitality, and more rotate, has an estimated value of around 1 billion euros.
