History
Chianti’s hill towns grew in the medieval period around castle farms and trade routes; San Gimignano’s skyline of towers marks its wealth from trade and saffron in the Middle Ages.
Conservation
Small vineyards and agriturismi practice terrace maintenance and selective harvesting to prevent erosion; visitors are encouraged to stay on roads, avoid trampling vines, and support local producers.
