The territory comprises an area of hill country situated between Florence and Siena, delimited on the east by the Chianti mountain range and on the west by the valleys of the Pesa and Elsa rivers Renowned the world over for its wine production, the Chianti territory is characterised by a continuous alterna-tion of valleys and gently rolling hills covered in vineyards and olive orchards, but also by steep and solitary hillocks with oaks, cypresses, and pines. The entire area is sprinkled with hamlets of ancient origin, parish churches and abbeys, towered castles and fortresses, farmhouses and country estates, all architectures made of simple, warm materials such as alberese stone, pietra serena, and terracotta that over the course of time blended with the natural landscape to create the effect of picturesque harmony. Chianti is above all a wine area. The Chianti Classico region is in turn defined by the cities between Florence and Siena: Greve, Panzano, Castellina, Gaiole and Radda. Almost all the famous Chianti estates are located near one of these cities, although Rufina is located east of Florence. In addition to red wine, many producers make Vin Santo del Chianti dessert wine and “Super Tuscan” wines. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is another important and delicious product of the area
