The route connecting Florence with Siena traverses one of the most captivating yet untamed wine regions, a place where vineyards coexist with a whole variety of plant life. Quite unlike the more industrialised wine regions we are accustomed to seeing, which often leave minimal space free from vineyards, this area still maintains some aspects of biodiversity. From this perspective, the Chianti Classico region not only offers truly memorable experiences, but also the occasional run-in with local wildlife, as you may find yourself crossing paths with the odd wild boar (bear this in mind when driving!). Along the way, you&#8217;ll discover a succession of charming villages, castles and wineries, as well as shops selling local delicacies and typical restaurants, or <em>trattorias<\/em>. There has to be a good reason to explain why the world and his wife have fallen head over heels in love with this area, and what attracted myriads of people to settle down here: by the end of this trip, we think you\u2019ll understand just why they\u2019ve chosen to do so. We begin our adventure in Pontassieve, just outside Florence, in an area that is geographically linked with Chianti, namely Rufina. The first historical residence we are going to visit is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/structures\/tenuta-bossi\/\"><strong>Tenuta Boss<\/strong><strong>i<\/strong><\/a>, a winery owned by the Gondi family, who cultivate olives in Volmiano and produce Chianti Rufina and extra virgin olive oil. It is possible to stay overnight in one of the seven <em>agriturismo<\/em> apartments and to participate in guided tours of the ancient cellars. The estate also organises wine and oil tasting sessions, and hosts private events.<br \/>\nAfter exploring the centre of Pontassieve and admiring the perfectly preserved Medici bridge that connects the old village with the district of San Francesco di Pelago, follow the Arno River in the direction of Florence. It\u2019s well worth spending some time visiting a very special garden, the <a href=\"https:\/\/ecorinascimento.com\/#_blank\">Enzo Pazzagli Art Park<\/a>, where 250 contemporary artworks are displayed in an open-air setting. Bypass the city centre\u2014that\u2019s a whole other itinerary\u2014and cross the Varlungo bridge to Tavarnuzze, where you will discover <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/structures\/villa-le-rose\/\"><strong>Villa Le Rose<\/strong><\/a>, a 15th-century Medici noble residence, built at the behest of Marquis Niccol\u00f2 Antinori. Today, it serves as a venue for private events and is a luxurious retreat in the Florentine hills, complete with a swimming pool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This itinerary has been specially designed for those who are passionate about art, culture and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":27675,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564,499],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-territories","category-toscana-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tuscany - From Florence to Siena - Travelling from Florence to Siena through the Chianti Classico region | Dimore Storiche Italiane<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/from-florence-to-siena-travelling-from-florence-to-siena-through-the-chianti-classico-region\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tuscany - From Florence to Siena - Travelling from Florence to Siena through the Chianti Classico region | Dimore Storiche Italiane\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This itinerary has been specially designed for those who are passionate about art, culture and [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/from-florence-to-siena-travelling-from-florence-to-siena-through-the-chianti-classico-region\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Dimore Storiche Italiane\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-10-22T19:06:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-11-28T13:17:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/UNESCO-Centro-storico-SIENA-archivio-Toscana-Promozione-Turistica.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"930\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alessandro D&#039;Agostino\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alessandro D&#039;Agostino\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/from-florence-to-siena-travelling-from-florence-to-siena-through-the-chianti-classico-region\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/from-florence-to-siena-travelling-from-florence-to-siena-through-the-chianti-classico-region\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Alessandro D'Agostino\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/44c5fbb58a9ff02a18beac7215decfd7\"},\"headline\":\"Tuscany &#8211;
