The Unexpected Chianti
This circular route starts at the entrance of the Chianti region and takes you to this poetic ancient land where man and nature live happily together.
The contrast with modern art and the Farm grapes are grown with special methods unique products in the whole of the Chianti area, will re-propose that particular taste of Sienese cuisine which takes the name of “dolce e forte” (sweet and strong).
After a few kilometers of pedaling along asphalt and dirt roads in the midst of olive groves and vineyards with unique views that vary eastwards from the Chianti hills to the Apennines chaine, west towards the Metalliferous Hills and south towards the Monte Amiata, it will be possible to stop for a visit to the Parco Sculture del Chianti (Chianti Sculpture Park). Here you can admire a permanent exhibition of contemporary works and sculptures by artists from all over the world: Vietnam, Chile, Zimbabwe, Philippines, Europe… magically integrated in a forest of oaks and holm oaks (ticket not included).
In the area there is an avant-garde agricultural company that has made the particularity of the cultivated grapes and products that offers an absolute unicum in the whole Chianti. Its wines and sparkling wines (spumante) are produced with both traditional and very special grapes, grown in a habitat that is perfect for them.
