A low, warm light settles over the Cassia Vetus as the minivan slips out of Florence and into hills that press forward in neat rows of vines and olive trees. Roads curve past stone farmhouses; the wind seems to carry the work of generations—pruning, pressing, tending—right into the tasting room. Guests step from the coach into Greve’s main piazza, ambling past a centuries-old food shop before climbing the short, cobbled rise to Montefioralle’s ramparts where the countryside opens in serried bands of vineyard and cypress.
