History
Chianti is a region in Tuscany. The area is divided into seven sub-sections to take advantage of the name recognition created by the popularity of the wine. The versatility of the wine and its exportability have made it very popular and as a result, generally less expensive. To differentiate itself from other wines, it was packaged in a straw basket, called a fiasco. The empty basket was then used as a candle holder in Italian restaurants. Today the wine is associated with the novelty of the basket, and Italian cuisine. It has begun, however, to break through that stereotype, with some high quality variants. -
