THE CHIANTI
The Chianti area lies between two important cities, Florence and Siena, and it extends from the basin of the river Arno to that of
the river Ombrone; it includes in the Valdelsa to the west, while to the east it reaches the Valdarno Superiore. The Chianti has
always been a wine-producing area (there is evidence of viticultural activity right back to Etruscan times), and it is worth visiting both for the
unmatched beauty of its natural landscape (inextricably inter-related with the work of man) and for the many villages, castles, and farms spread
out through the whole territory. Known throughout the world, this area is divided into two parts, the Chianti
Fiorentino and the Chianti Senese.
Running through this historic territory is the Via Chiantigiana, which joins Florence and Siena. Off this main
route there are innumerable roads (both asphalt and dirt roads) leading to ancient parish churches, castles, quaint villages
and wineries.
The beauty of the landscape accompanied with the possibility to visit one or more wineries during these sightseeing
tours and to taste one of the best wines and one of the best cuisine in Italy, will render the visit to this area an unforgettable experience!
