2. This winery has been producing wine and olive oil since the 9th century. The estate has belonged to famous families from Florence, including the Strozzi. In 1959 the Palombo family took the ownership of the business and abandoned the mixed agricultural system. Their focus on cultivating solely vines helped them achieve wine of the highest quality. Sangiovese grape represents the largest portion of grape variety planted on their territory. The long-lasting tradition of winemaking is attested by ancient cellars built during the Renaissance. Here you will tour the property, vineyard and wine cellars in which vinification takes place and wines are displayed. Afterwards, you will enjoy a Chianti-based wine tasting with a view.

3. This winery is a boutique winery, located in the heart of Chianti Classico since 1780, with a vineyard area of 5 hectares and an annual production of about 22,000 bottles. Savignola, whose name has Etruscan origins, was regarded as a Christian settlement and was built around the first half of the 17th century. Marked by an all-female history, it is considered one of the historic companies of the area thanks to the figure of Paolina, who was the first woman to bottle her Riserva in a Bordeaux style bottle. She brought innovation to the historical tradition of Chianti Classico. The ancient barrel cellar of the estate dates back to the 1500s where tradition and innovation come together in the production of their wine. The terroir is made up of deep clay and chalky soil and requires rigorous work to create the perfect conditions for obtaining rich, intense and long-lived wines.

About Florence

Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, gathers masterpieces of art and architecture into a compact city of stone streets beside the Arno.

The Duomo, with Brunelleschi's great red-brick dome, Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery's gilded doors, marks the centre of town. A few streets away, Piazza della Signoria and the Palazzo Vecchio face a loggia full of sculpture, and the Uffizi Gallery holds Botticelli, Leonardo and Raphael. Michelangelo's David stands in the Galleria dell'Accademia.

Top-ranked sights in Florence: Piazza della Signoria, Uffizi Galleries (Gallerie degli Uffizi), Florence Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore).
