 Chianti Area
Chianti Area
Known throughout the world, this famous area lies between two important cities, Florence and Siena and extends from the Arno basin to that of the Ombrone.
It has always been a wine-producing area - in fact there is evidence of viticultural activity from Etruscan times on.
Worth visiting both for the unmatched beauty of its landscape and for the many villages, castles and farms dotted around the area.
Don’t miss Impruneta, where the famous cotto comes from, Greve in Chianti, Volpaia, Gaiole in Chianti, Castellina in Chianti, Radda in Chianti (headquarter of the Consorzio del Chianti Gallo Nero), Castello di Brolio (one of the largest wine estates).
