The vineyards in this part of Tuscany produce the grapes used in namesake Chianti wine: It's a landscape of historic olive groves, honey-colored stone farmhouses, dense forests, graceful Romanesque pievi (rural churches), handsome Renaissance villas and imposing stone castles built in the Middle Ages by Florentine and Sienese warlords.
