Yesterday I was strolling in the Florence city center & I’ve heard a drum sound …so I stopped: I thought it was like being in another century … then I saw a police woman on a horse & lots of people standing at the border of the Calzaiuoli street that leads to Piazza della Signoria where the city hall is…& then I saw a entire carriage with cows filled with CHIANTI RUFINA WINE!
So I remembered 🙃🙂🤗 : they are celebrating 300 years of CHIANTI CLASSICO , in fact …in 1716- exactly September 25th ! – the grand duke Cosimo III dè Medici decided to write down a sort of declaration with strict rules to definy precisely the boundaries of the Chianti area to preserve the abuse of others to call Chianti any kind of wine!
Wish I was there! SALUTE!
WOW!!! We are sad we missed this “event”.
