A Tuscan Fiasco
The famous Chianti straw basket bottle is much more than a souvenir—it’s a 700-year-old symbol of Tuscany’s winemaking heritage. Discover the fascinating history of the fiasco Toscano, from medieval glassblowers and skilled basket weavers to its rise, fall, and modern revival. The next time you spot one, you’ll see far more than a bottle—you’ll see a piece of Tuscan history.
