These lands are magic thank to that special wine, known all over the world.
In a simple glass of that ruby wine, spicy, fruity, elegant which becomes velvet in the end, it is easy to find out the proudness of this land. Chiantishire, thank to its sweet hills and its gracious landscape is an inspiration to many artists who decided to live there, such as the American painter George d’Almeida or Mattew Spender who, as Bernardo Bertolucci said when they worked together on “Stealing Beauty” in Gaiole in Chianti, “in the morning he used to grow his plants and in the afternoon he was working on his sculptures…”
The small country streets which follow the hill’s shape are still silent and perfect for a walk, a bike ride or to be visited using a vintage form of transport…

Walking through Siena streets it is impossible not to notice its soul which comes out from every stone of its buildings. Every area inside the town itself shows its own traditions and stands out with its elegance and beauty, exalting itself in a riot of colors, flavours, sounds and emotions: The Palio: a horses race which is a metaphore for an ancient war between the single areas inside Siena (Contrade), full of an almost religious passion. Outside Siena walls on the other hand, a kingdom of peace: sweet, sunny hills, following one another like dunes, dotted with cypresses, country houses and vineyards. The vineyards of Chianti.
