It was historically associated with a squat bottle enclosed in a straw basket, called a '' fiasco'' ("flask"; : ''fiaschi''). However, the ''fiasco'' is now only used by a few makers of the wine; most Chianti is bottled in more standard-shaped wine bottles.

In 1932 the Chianti area was completely redrawn and divided into seven sub-areas: Classico, Colli Aretini, Colli Fiorentini, Colline Pisane, Colli Senesi, Montal ...
