sangiovanni_pic1small.jpg (26890 bytes)

The small, rural hamlet of Volpaia with its fortified walls dating from Medieval times, is one of the best remaining examples of its kind in Tuscany. It is located, just north of Radda in Chianti, in a beautiful position overlooking vineyards and olive groves. The wines produced on the estate of Volpaia are among the best in the Chianti Classico area, and the cellars certainly deserve a visit. Both the red and white wines, together with the olive oil, are marketed as "Castello di Volpaia", and known worldwide. The wines, olive oil, local honey and the vinegar can all be bought and sampled locally in the village. Cooking classes can also be arranged on request by the local office. Casetto di Volpaia is situated in one of the most panoramic positions on the whole estate. The house is built on several levels and has recently been meticulously restored by the owners. A swimming pool has been installed and surrounded by a fence, making it safe for young children. There is also a tennis court right in the center of the hamlet, within walking distance of the property, available on request.
