CHIANTI NEAR SIENA: C’EST MAGNIFIQUE!

‘C’est magnifique!’ is what one of our clients from France said after two weeks spent in the Chianti region near Siena. And you will understand why once you visit this beautiful part of Tuscany. Geographically speaking, Chianti is a vast area that stretches from the hills at the heart of Tuscany, between Siena and Florence, and that is bordered on the north by the River Ombrone, in the East by the Monti del Chianti, in the south by the River Arno, and the West by the Val d’Elsa.

However, dry geographical facts do nothing to convey the stunning beauty of the Chianti landscape, or tell you about its magnificent hills, sparkling rivers, undulating fields of grain, picturesque olive groves and vineyards, multi-coloured woodlands, and impossibly blue sky. And geography is also unable to express the sheer majesty of Chianti’s various cities, such as Siena, Florence, and Pisa, world renowned for their cultural richness, centuries old but impeccably preserved palaces and churches, and the exquisite local cuisine and wines. Ah, the wines. Where else in the world will you find wines of such quality? Chianti is Italy’s most famous red wine, which takes its name from the region.

As we say, Siena is one of Chianti’s most famous cities. Medieval Siena was often thought of as the ‘female counterpart’ to Renaissance Florence. At the centre of Siena is the magnificent piazza of Il Campo, scene of the famous bareback horse race Il Palio, which is a fever that grips Siena twice a year. Among Siena’s other attractions are the striped Cathedral that Ruskin described as ‘a piece of costly confectionery’ and the Palazzo Pubblico (Town Hall) topped by the soaring Torre del Mangia. Inside the town hall is the Museo Civico where you can see Simone Martini’s Guidoriccio. Tourists are also welcome in the city’s many pasticceria or simply soak up the sun in the Campo. You should also make sure you visit the 14th-century Gothic Baptistery of San Giovanni, and the many medieval and Renaissance palaces that survive.
