Greve-In-Chianti

Travel along country roads leading through ancient fortress villages to Montefioralle. While biking, be on the lookout for a door with the emblem of a wasp and a ‘V’ carved into the stone. This is thought to be the mark of Amerigo Vespucci, the eponymous discoverer of the New World. Don’t miss the beautiful frescoes at the ninth-century abbey at Passignano, including Ghirlandaaio’s The Last Supper, before having lunch at La Cantinetta di Rignana. This trattoria gem serves traditional Tuscan cuisine accompanied by delicious wines and more.
