In the Chianti hills

In the heart of green Tuscany is the Chianti region, characterized by a gentle hilly landscape covered with vineyards and olive groves. This unique landscape is enriched by hills with ancient stone mansions and picturesque medieval towns. The Chianti region is also home to one of the most famous brands of red wine, which is made from the Sangiovese grapevine.

The boundaries of the Chianti region are not clearly defined, but the main part is between the largest cities in Tuscany, Florence and Siena. Chianti includes the medieval towns of Castellina, Greve, Radda and Gaiole. It is in that green land, among the Chianti hills, that the family-run and comfortable Camping Norcenni Girasole Club is situated, with a magnificent view of the Arno Valley. The owner of this highly appreciated resort is the Human Company, which also has many other high-class campsites in various parts of Italy, such as Camping Village Park Albatros or Altomincio Family Park .

Journey along the Chianti wine route

The Chianti region is one of the most important wine producers in Italy. It is worth getting to know this local treasure a little closer, which is not difficult when we live at the Norcenni Girasole Club. The best way to do this is to take the Chiantigiana trail, which leads south from Florence to Siena .

It is a very picturesque route that runs through the Tuscan hills and vineyards there, producing the excellent Chianti Classico DOCG. Traveling on this extraordinary route, we can not only taste wine from local producers, but also visit medieval towns such as Castellina or Greve.

Castellina is a small but very charming town with the Neo-Romanesque Church of San Salvatore in the center. Also nearby is the 15th-century defensive tower that now houses the Museo Archeologico Chianti Senese.

Greve , on the other hand, is a market town, only 31 km from Florence. Its center is full of medieval buildings around the Franciscan monastery. In the square you can see the 11th-century church of Santa Croce with a neoclassical facade and the statue of the sailor Giovanni da Verrazzano.
