Tuscany (Chianti)

The Chianti corridor between Florence and Siena is Italy's most iconic wine landscape, spanning 70,000 km² of vine-covered hills and more than 350 medieval castles. The Val d'Orcia UNESCO landscape, inscribed in 2004, offers the quintessential Tuscan panorama of cypress alleys and Renaissance farmhouses. The region produces over 300 million bottles of Chianti annually, with an average vineyard altitude of 350 meters that gives its microclimate a distinct character. Tuscany remains Italy's greatest open-air museum of rural beauty, where every hilltop reveals a new masterpiece of nature and history.
