Chianti Road – Tuscany: centuries-old vineyards, suspended villages and the essence of wine between Florence and Siena. In the heart of Tuscany stretches the Chianti Road, a route that combines rolling hills, oak woods, stone farmhouses and vineyards as far as the eye can see. This historic itinerary crosses the Chianti Classico, touching villages such as Greve, Panzano, Radda, Castellina and Gaiole in Chianti, telling centuries of agricultural culture, rural architecture and passion for wine. 🍇 The kingdom of Sangiovese: The Chianti vineyards give life to one of the most famous wines in the world: Chianti Classico DOCG. Produced mainly with Sangiovese grapes, it stands out for its balance between fruit, acidity and elegant tannins. Alongside the traditional red, there are also modern rosés, Vin Santo and some labels from international grape varieties. 👉 Tip: Choose a winery with organic or biodynamic production: many offer tours between the rows and tastings in the heart of the Tuscan landscape. 🏛️ Wine villages and atmospheres of yesteryear: Each stage offers postcard views: paved squares, medieval castles, Romanesque churches and local markets. In Greve, the heart of Florentine Chianti, you can breathe a lively and authentic atmosphere; in Radda and Castellina, time seems to have stopped between ancient walls and artisan shops. 👉 Tip: Stop for an aperitif in the square overlooking the vineyards at sunset: every sip has the flavor of Tuscan history. 🚶 Experiences among hills and rows: The Chianti Road invites you to move slowly: walking or cycling routes lead through farms, wineries, olive groves and dirt roads. The itineraries are well marked and often integrated by farmhouses, small taverns and structures where you can savor the true rural welcome. 👉 Tip: Experience a trek through vineyards and woods, with a stop for a picnic in the vineyard or a light lunch under a pergola. 🍷 Wine meets the table: The dishes of the Tuscan tradition – pici with meat sauce, ribollita, grilled meats, aged pecorino cheeses – are enhanced with a Chianti Classico served at the right temperature. The Riserva and Gran Selezione versions offer greater structure and longevity, ideal for special occasions. 👉 Tip: Book a dinner in the vineyard with guided tasting: many wineries offer sensory experiences between candles and stars. 🎉 Wine festivals and peasant culture: During the year, the Strada comes alive with fairs, itinerant tastings, historical re-enactments and musical events. Events such as Radda nel Bicchiere, Chianti Classico Collection or the Impruneta Grape Festival enhance the deep bond between wine, territory and community. 👉 Tip: Visit in spring or September: the landscape is coloured and the cellars are open to the public with events, exhibitions and concerts. In every corner of the Chianti Road, rural elegance, genuine flavors and a rhythm that brings the guest back to the authentic sense of Tuscan hospitality coexist.
