Castello di Verrazzano
Historic wine estate famous for Chianti Classico, with vineyard views tied to the family of explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano.

Via Castello di Verrazzano, 1, Greve in Chianti
- Florence centre is a ZTL — avoid driving in, park on the outskirts if returning late
- SR222 Chiantigiana is narrow and curvy — budget extra time, especially on weekends
- Book Castello di Verrazzano tasting and Ristoro di Lamole lunch in advance, especially spring/fall
- Many Chianti wineries close for a midday break — check hours before detouring
- Badia a Passignano+20 km
A striking fortified abbey among cypress-lined vineyards, with a renowned adjoining Antinori-owned wine estate.
- Panzano in Chianti+15 km
Hilltop village home to the famous Dario Cecchini butcher shop, a Tuscan carnivore pilgrimage site.
- San Donato in Poggio+25 km
An underrated, beautifully preserved medieval walled village with far fewer tourists than Greve.
