Short description of Chianti
Chianti is the hill country between Florence and Siena in the heart of Tuscany, a landscape of vineyards, olive groves, cypress-lined roads and stone villages that gave its name to one of Italy's best-known red wines. The scenic Chiantigiana road links the market town of Greve with its arcaded square, Panzano with its famous butcher and the hilltop village of Castellina, and side roads climb on to Radda and Gaiole. Castles such as Brolio and Meleto, and abbeys such as Badia a Passignano, still make wine today. Tastings at the estates, cycling on white gravel roads and stays on country estates make Chianti a classic slow-travel base between Florence and Siena.
