The Chianti tour - From Florence

This is an amazing journey in the heart of the "bellissima" countryside: hills, cypresses, vineyards, forests, olive groves, medieval villages and castles. It is one of my favourite regions in Tuscany, because we have all together: the nature, the beauty, the story and the art. The most famous Chianti vineyards in the world stretch out on the slopes of the lower Apennines south of Florence, as do olive groves, on land that is completely uncontaminated, with wonderful panoramic views in every season. Chianti, however, reveals itself with a visit to the castles, all of them still producing wine. Many of them belong to famous families such as the Verrazzano, the Vespucci, the Uzzano. Just visiting the properties, some of them built more than a thousand years ago, lets us understand the strategic importance of these castles -once fiefs- and their wine. A wine tasting can be organized on request.
