Morning light spills over Florence as riders clip into e-bike pedals and push away from the city, the Duomo shrinking behind them while cypress-lined lanes and vineyard rows rise ahead. The guide sets the pace; batteries hum, hills invite, and the route threads through hamlets where stone farmhouses keep old winemaking rhythms alive.
