The proper name is "fiasco", this is how we call it in Italy,it is originary 
from Tuscany and it was specially designed for "chianti" two litre bottles 
even if nowadays it's hard to find that size on the market, normally the most 
popular is the one litre bottle but also the standard 75 cl is  widely 
available in all supermarkets.
