Castellina in Chianti

13 km from Fattoria di Corsignano

Of Etruscan origin, Castellina in Chianti played a primary role for its key position of connection between the southern Etruscan cities and the North.
Fortified by the Florentines in 1203, Castellina grows in importance when it is found to be a borderland along the main road linking Florence and Siena. The historic center with the medieval layout, the walls, the Rocca and Via delle Volte are valuable testimonies of its history.
