Chiantishire, Wine region between Florence and Siena, Italy.
The central Tuscan territory spans across rolling hills covered with vineyards, olive groves, cypress trees, and traditional stone farmhouses.
In 1716, Grand Duke Cosimo III de' Medici established the first legal document worldwide that defined the boundaries of the Chianti wine production area.
The region gained the nickname Chiantishire in the late 20th century due to the high concentration of British expatriates who purchased properties in the area.
Multiple wine estates throughout the region offer guided tours and tastings of Chianti Classico wines, produced primarily from Sangiovese grapes.
The territory includes medieval towns like Castellina, Radda, and Gaiole, which formed the original Chianti League in the thirteenth century.
