It is known for its idyllic orderly vineyards, rolling lush green hillsides, its ideal location between Siena and Florence and home to most recently known Dario Cecchini, the world-renowned butcher and restaurateur. But what it is most famous for is its wine; Chianti has been producing wines for over 2000 years so they've had plenty of time to perfect it! Chianti offers some of the most picturesque towns in Italy including Greve, Radda and Castellina and we have a home in each, and one to suit all.  So here's our Chianti selection to whet your appetite.

1. Heady floral notes:  Il Faggio for just two, it is 3kms from the hilltop town of Radda.

2. A red with body:  Casa Oliva for up to 4 guests has history dating back 1000 years!

3. Sweet and crisp:  Built into the hillside above the Chianti Classico's 'wine route' Capannina dei Ramoli affords some of the best views in Chianti.

4. A strong bouquet:  Chianti Top, the name tells you all you need to know and the sunsets are all you need to begin your evening in Greve.

5. Opulent & velvety: From your infinity pool you can see Castelvecchi, a popular wine producer of the region that perches high above the valley, but that's just the beginning...... welcome to Podere La Selva estate.
