Chianti Rufina – Half day
Special little wineries along the Arno and Sieve river, a few kilometers far from Florence
Along ancient Roman stone roads crossing high mountains, the pilgrims found peace and wines in old convents and monumental wineries. The castle of Pomino and the Frescobaldi estates are points of interest in this little-known area, but we particularly put our attention on the new, little and high quality wine makers. A new generation trying to change the image of the Chianti Rufina wine in the world.
