History The origins of the Chianti flask or fiasco date back to the fourteenth century in Tuscany. The big-bellied shape of the fiasco was inspired by the borraccia, a goatskin water bag that medieval horsemen attached to their saddles to quench their thirst during long rides. Since its founding in 1877, Ruffino has been instrumental in making the fiasco a symbol of Italian quality and heritage around the world. In fact, the traditional Ruffino fiasco was the 1st Chianti exported from Italy.
