    It is not uncommon to find wine estates in Tuscany that have been in family ownership for more than five centuries. Here, more than anywhere, the ancient civilisations of italy appear to have ceded little to the passage of time. The region's ravishing coutryside has attracting tourists since a long time and the landscapes of cypress trees, ochre hills, vineyards and olive groves appear like in a painting of Renaissance. Like everywhere else, quality can vary enormously but the best wines have an aristocratic bearing not found elsewhere.

    route chianti classico

    The most famous of all Tuscan wines is Chianti, a red wine produced in the higher part of Tuscany region. Chianti is made from the Sangiovese grape, which has elements of fruit and spices, and varies greatly in quality. There is a distinction between Chianti and Chianti Classico – wines from the latter being produced in a region known for producing ‘Chianti’ prior to the new 1932 classification. It is often felt that these wines are of a higher standard. We suggest you a tour in the heart of the Chianti Classico area. A charming trip through the beautiful hills of Chianti area will allow us to visit and tasting the finest wines of two selected wineries. We have a light lunch in a little village and return on the evening to the hotel at Florence. (Dinner at your own).
