History
Chianti’s pattern of hilltop towns and terraced vines reflects centuries of agrarian land division and medieval trade routes; many estates occupy properties with Renaissance-era cellars.
Conservation
Local estates increasingly use organic or low-intervention practices; stick to designated trails, respect grazing areas, and avoid feeding wildlife to limit disturbance.
