Today we took the Chianti Tour in Terre di Siena. This was a 5 hour guided bus tour to the Tuscan countryside with its vineyards and olive trees…
We stopped in Radda in Chianti, a medieval town that in the 1400’s became a Florentine fortress and chief town of the Chianti region (as Siena and Florence battled for control)…
We also visited the heart of the Chianti Classico area and stopped for a tour and wine tasting at Castello D’Albola (a mid-sized winery) located outside of Radda in Chianti…
There we enjoyed: Chiantic Classico, Chianti Classico Riserva, Vin Santo, Grappa (uuck!), and yes, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which tastes VERY DIFFERNET fresh off the trees!..
