Human factors
In the area, the traces of Roman roads are still visible alongside the boundaries of Etruscan vineyards and the dry-stone terraces of the medieval period along the pilgrimage routes to Rome.
The 1716 edict of Cosimo III de' Medici identified the Vald'Arno as a quality wine-producing area.
After the period of powdery mildew (oidium), there was a period of great development with the experimentation of new grape varieties, and from the 1970s onwards wines of internationally recognised excellence emerged.
