A fascinating place, rich with culture, nature and typical products.

The luscious, rolling chain of Chianti hills that straddle the countryside of Florenceand Siena, have characterised this area since the beginning of time. From a historical point of view, across the centuries, the Chianti area consisted of the municipalities of Gaiole, Radda and Castellina, otherwise known as the Lega del Chianti. Founded in 1384  by the Florentine Republic, the League’s coat of arms bore the (still renwoned) black rooster. With the creation of the wine-making area in 1932, the area known as Chianti expanded substantially.
