Castellina in Chianti
We meet Castellina in Chianti always on the Chianti Road and we are in Chianti's geographical heart. Castellina in Chianti is built around a hilltop fortress that dominates the main piazza and is certainly medieval in origin. Via delle Volte is particularly interesting for its ancient chimney works that were part of the defensive fortifications. Worth seeing near Castellina is a notable Etruscan 6th-century BC tomb, which was discovered by chance in 1507 during the course of vineyard plantation.
