Pianella.

Castellina in Chianti sits at the crossroads of ancient routes through the Chianti hills, its medieval walls and tower watching over vine-covered slopes. The village preserves its fortified character with a covered walkway running beneath houses along the main street. Wine shops, restaurants, and tasting rooms fill the compact historic center, offering Chianti Classico from surrounding estates. Stone houses in traditional Tuscan style spread along the ridge, connected by paths through vineyards. The central location between Florence and Siena, authentic village atmosphere, and concentration of quality wine producers make this a popular base for Chianti touring while maintaining genuine character.
