The scientific community has been increasingly focusing on development opportunities for rural areas, most notably with the identification of attractiveness factors such as potential drivers of growth and improvement of "quality of life". This paper contributes to the debate by proposing the adoption of a post-rurality approach in the interpretation of local development paths and social relations among local socio-economic stakeholders, as well as their participation in local area governance. The Chianti Classico wine-growing area in Tuscany, Italy, is presented as a case study.

La comunità scientifica ha posto particolare attenzione alle opportunità di sviluppo delle aree rurali, focalizzandosi sui fattori attrattivi quali driver potenziali di crescita e miglioramento della "qualità della vita". Questo articolo vuol contribuire al dibattito, proponendo il post-ruralismo quale lente per interpretare i percorsi di sviluppo a livello locale e le relazioni sociali tra attori socio-economici locali, nonché la loro partecipazione alla governance territoriale. Il caso del Chianti Classico in Toscana è da considerarsi in questa prospettiva un’area di studio privilegiata.
