The Non-Profit Foundation for the Protection of Chianti Classico Territory (La Fondazione per la Tutela del Territorio del Chianti Classico – Onlus) was founded in 1991 by the Historical Chianti Classico Brand Consortium, which in 2005 converged into the Chianti Classico Wine Consortium. Since its start the foundation’s specific mission has been to protect the territory’s environmental assets and valorize its artistic-cultural heritage.

Chianti has always been a borderland, rugged and harsh, which through the centuries, thanks to human endeavor, succeeded in transforming itself into one of the loveliest rural areas in the world. In addition to being a basic element of its cultural identity, the landscape is nowadays one of Chianti’s prime resources and as such needs to be defended and protected.

As established by its statute the foundation’s work is concentrated in two principal spheres: protecting the territory and valorizing its artistic, cultural and environmental assets.
