Etruscans were already producing wine in the Vagliagli area, according to historians. Further documents reveal that as of 1090 Vagliagli had become a well-known source of superior wine, exporting throughout the ancient world wine that would later bear the name Chianti Classico.
Vagliagli fully supports the Chianti Classico Consortium in its project to underline the differences between the various zones of production, true wealth both of Italy and of the Chianti Classico area of production.
The territory of Vagliagli coincides with the ancient district of Vagliagli, historically recognized as a source of Chianti Classico of excellence.
In fact, since the inception of Consorzio of Chianti Classico in 1924, the 33 founding members defined the territory of Chianti Classico in art. 1 encompassing the “hamlets of Vagliagli and San Gusmè, the townships of Castellina, Gaiole, Greve and Radda..”
A rugged, tough area, swept by winds and beaten by sun, it is optimal for Sangiovese of high quality. Vagliagli boasts terrains particularly suited to viticulture: “cultivated in hilly areas geologically formed and derived from galestro, alberese and arenaria” Article 4 of the Statuto of Chianti Classico 1924.
