We are in the province of
Pisa, the area of Casciana, Chianni, Palaia, Lari, Peccioli, Terriciola, and
Fauglia, looking east we find Florence, north there is Lucca, and to
the south Siena and Grosseto.
Here is cultivated the vine that
gives birth, thanks to the skill of his winegrowers, climate and soil
characteristics, to the DOCG wines of great quality Chianti Colli
Pisani.
The ruby red wine with a majority of
grape variety Sangiovese reflects the harmony and character of the
hills from which it comes from, the territories where nature and
human endeavor distinguish a product of high quality and value
throughout Tuscany.
From the time of Barone Ricasoli,
"father of Chianti", to this day, little has changed in the
way of conceiving this noble wine that tuscan farmers produce with
passion in compliance with the specifications that encode its
essence.
Without anything to envy to other
areas of Tuscany that in the public opinion are intended as
"Chianti", we can say that this territory offers, with
equal dignity and merit, atmospheres and landscapes of pristine
beauty, tradition and culture, art and gastronomy, hospitality of its
inhabitants who are proud of belonging to a unique land.
Thanks to its valuable
characteristics Chianti Pisano is visited every year by tens of thousands of tourists coming mainly
from abroad, who from early spring to late autumn are on holiday in
these areas, where accommodations range from historic luxury villas
to comfortable holiday homes, bed & breakfasts, farmhouses and
hotels.
Here tranquility and relaxation are
undisputed, and travellers can also choose the activities that most
interests them between visits to wineries to taste the Chianti and
other typical wines, extra virgin olive oil, tastings of typical
products such as meats and cheeses.
Considerable success are achieving
typical Tuscan cooking classes, which are held either in well
equipped farmhouses or directly to the address of the visitor, it is
also quite common to come across along streets and alleys,
individuals or small groups of people, from the apparent non-local
look, which equipped with a map or gps navigator device, explore the
area on foot or by bicycle, whilst there is a large participation for
horseback riding or off-road vehicles excursions, rides on a Vespa,
and golf playing .
