THE HILLS OF CHIANTI TRAVEL GUIDE
Florence - Siena

Chianti, ie the territory which for centuries produced the wine Chianti Classico, is part of the Tuscan hill land situated between Florence and Siena, expertly shaped by man and rich of art, this area is a mosaic of history, nature and art unique in the world.

This is a land of ancient traditions, civilized in ancient times, first by the Etruscans and then by the Romans.

In the Middle Ages, Florence and Siena fought bitter battles for control of this territory. During this period arose the typical villages and castles that still dominate the landscape of hills, ever since they were also the basis for the cultivation of grapes and olives, which gradually acquired economic importance and international fame. 

The Chianti covers about 700 square km and includes the entire municipalities of Castellina in Chianti, Gaiole in Chianti, Greve in Chianti e Radda in Chianti, and partially the municipalities of Barberino Val d'Elsa, Castelnuovo Berardenga, Poggibonsi, San Casciano in Val di Pesa and Tavarnelle Val di Pesa. In these pages we propose two itineraries in Chianti (Chianti Fiorentino and Chianti Senese) and some aspects of the Chianti countryside in different seasons.
