The Black Rooster’s link with the territory has antique origins. A Black Rooster on a gold background was in fact chosen as the emblem of the Lega del Chianti, a political-military institution created by the Republic of Florence to control the territory of Chianti at the end of the fourteenth century.
Since then, this proud animal, which at a certain time must have actually flourished in the splendid hills of Chianti, has been the symbol of the territory.
