Chianti Classico Wine and Oil Route – Tuscany: legendary hills, intense flavors and landscapes that tell centuries of peasant knowledge. The Chianti Classico Wine and Oil Route winds its way between Florence and Siena, crossing one of the most recognizable and beloved territories of Tuscany. Along this itinerary you will encounter centuries-old vineyards, orderly olive groves, medieval castles and small villages immersed in the quiet of the countryside. 🍇 The elegance of a symbolic wine: Chianti Classico DOCG, with the famous Black Rooster on the label, comes from Sangiovese grapes grown on clayey and marl soils. The result is a structured, deep and harmonious wine. Next to it, the DOP extra virgin olive oil gives vegetal aromas and a strong taste, the result of ancient cultivars processed with methods that respect tradition. 👉 Tip: Many companies offer combined experiences: guided wine and oil tastings, with small preparations based on bread, vegetables and typical cheeses. 🏘️ Villages, parish churches and stone farms: Along the way you will come across villages such as Greve in Chianti, Castellina, Radda and Gaiole, where time passes more slowly. The stone squares, the castles converted into wineries, the historic oil mills and the rural houses form a perfect mosaic between nature and architecture. 👉 Tip: Look for a sunset tasting in a panoramic winery: many offer terraces overlooking vineyards as far as the eye can see. 🚶 Outdoor experiences: The Chianti hills are ideal for hiking and e-bike tours, with routes that cross woods, vineyards and dirt roads. Several farms offer complete tours: from the vineyard to the barrel cellar, up to the table. 👉 Tip: Stay in a farmhouse with its own production: you can experience the rhythm of the countryside up close and participate in oil or wine workshops. 🍷 Flavours that enhance the territory: Chianti Classico goes well with dishes such as pici with meat sauce, roasts, cured meats and pecorino cheeses. Tuscan DOP oil is perfect on bruschetta, rustic soups and seasonal salads. The flavors are intense but balanced, an authentic expression of this land. 👉 Tip: Book a tasting dinner in a country restaurant: you will find seasonal menus designed to enhance every glass and every drop of oil. 🎉 Festivals, open oil mills and culture of taste: Between spring and autumn, events multiply: wine markets, days dedicated to new oil, evenings among the rows and local festivals. These are precious opportunities to meet the producers and discover the stories behind each bottle. 👉 Tip: Visit the area in November for the olive harvest: many companies open their doors with live pressing and tastings of freshly pressed oil. In the land of the Black Rooster, every step is an encounter with Tuscan agricultural culture: here taste takes shape in the details of a timeless landscape.
