| Chianti is a vast geographic area from the hilly landscape placed at the center of the Tuscan region,
between Siena and Florence, whose limits are distinguished at the North in the Ombrone river; at
the East in the Monti of the Chianti, at the South in the Arno and at the West in the valley of Elsa.
Its hills, crossed by a rich network of short rivers, those of the Pesa, the Elsa, the Greve,
the Ombrone and the Arbia, are everywhere famous for the incomparable naturalistic beauty and
as an example of harmonious union between environment and human activity, which is reftected
by the orderly cultivation of vines and olive trees and by the golden expanse of grain.
The rural reality of the Chianti region is not however monotonous, it also presents, in fact,
woodland areas composed essentially of oak and chestnut trees of coppices that cover the slopes of
the surfaces. The fascination of this territory lies in the perfect equilibrium between the soft
forms of slopes and the thousand nuances of color and crowded woods, populated by ancient castles,
secular parishes, pleasant villas and large Jarms, in which the tradition well mixes with the most
modern criteria of organization and production.
