Château de Verrazzano — Winery in Greve in Chianti

A winding road takes you further and further up the hill, through a cool forest and past countless rows of vines, until you see the majestic castle proudly crowning a hilltop. Besides Chianti Classico, the estate produces olive oil, balsamic vinegar and grappa. The nice thing about this winery is that it doesn't feel commercial: leaving the dining room you pass a small sales counter rather than a big commercial shop, which makes the wine tasting very relaxed. The castle can be visited Monday to Friday between 11.00-13.00 and 15.00-17.00. Booking is strongly recommended, especially in high season.
