"The territory of the Chianti Classico (74,402.81 ha), which is the object of this nomination proposal, extends within the Tuscany Region of Italy, between the two provinces of Florence and Siena. It comprises the entire municipalities of Greve in Chianti (FI), Castellina in Chianti (SI), Gaiole in Chianti (SI), Radda in Chianti (SI) and partially those of Barberino Tavarnelle (FI), San Casciano in Val di Pesa (FI), Castelnuovo Berardenga (SI) and Poggibonsi (SI).
Characterized by a continuous human presence from ancient times to the present day, this territory is evidence of the processes that historically have outlined the agricultural lands (contadi) of the two dominant cities, Florence and Siena. They represent the most significant forms of landscape evolution undertaken since Renaissance under their assets of settlement, production and layout.
