A dry breeze tugs at the hem of your jacket as the path peels away from a sunlit lane into rows of vines—green hands stretching across low, sculpted hills. You climb a short rise and the castle of Montefioralle appears, a tight ring of stone and slate watching over the Greve valley. The tour lingers here: a guided walk through vineyard tracks, a stroll across olive groves, then down into a cellar where barrel-scented air replaces the open sky.

Montefioralle is a medieval hill village that once guarded trade routes to Florence; winemaking in Chianti dates back centuries and was formalized in the modern era with the Chianti Classico district.
Conservation
Many small producers practice low-intervention viticulture and cover-cropping; visitors should stick to marked paths and carry out trash to limit erosion and protect vineyard soils.
