Beautiful views around Chianit

Big sky and great landscapes
The vineyards of Chianti are visible even before you cross the local government line of Greve in Chianti but, it isn’t until you actually walk into the triangular shaped square, with its stone pavement, and inhale the small town atmosphere that you can really truly say you are having a Chianti experience. Looking at the tranquil atmosphere of this fairly busy little town, one would never guess that the town of Greve, and the headquarters of the local commune, had been caught in the crossfire of Florence and Siena for hundreds of years.

this area is the best example of Tuscan regional identity, rich in natural resources and agricultural productivity.
