<p>Greve in Chianti, Tuscany. Known as the gateway to Chianti, this town sits on the road between Florence and Siena. Its heart is the triangular, arcaded Piazza Matteotti, home to a Saturday market and a statue of the explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano. On the square stands the Antica Macelleria Falorni, a historic butcher's shop and charcuterie that, by the family's own account, has been in business since 1806, across nine generations. Famous for its salumi, cinta senese pork products and Chianti-infused cured meats, it also serves lunch and tastings, and we couldn't resist eating there and taking some treats home. A short drive away is the medieval village of Montefioralle. Photos from our trip. <br />

Su corazón es la Piazza Matteotti, triangular y con soportales, donde se celebra un mercado los sábados y donde está la estatua del explorador Giovanni da Verrazzano. En la plaza se encuentra la Antica Macelleria Falorni, una histórica carnicería y charcutería que, según la propia familia, funciona desde 1806 y ya va por su novena generación. Famosa por sus salumi, sus productos de cerdo cinta senese y sus embutidos curados con Chianti, también ofrece comidas y degustaciones, y no pudimos resistirnos a comer allí y llevarnos algunas compras. A pocos minutos en coche está el pueblo medieval de Montefioralle. Fotos de nuestro viaje.</p>

<p>Castellina in Chianti, Tuscany. A hilltop village in the province of Siena, on the old border between Florence and Siena. Human presence here goes back to the 7th century BC, when the area was an important Etruscan crossroads, and the Tumulo di Montecalvario, a tomb complex with four entrances facing the cardinal points, still survives nearby. In the 12th century it joined the Chianti League and became a key Florentine outpost. Its fortress, the Rocca, now houses the Archaeological Museum of the Siena Chianti, and its covered street, Via delle Volte, winds around the old town. Today it is one of the heart-lands of Chianti wine and olive oil. Photos from our trip.<br />

Castellina in Chianti, Toscana. Un pueblo en lo alto de una colina, en la provincia de Siena, situado en la antigua frontera entre Florencia y Siena. Hay presencia humana desde el siglo VII a. C., cuando la zona era un cruce de caminos etrusco muy importante, y cerca se conserva el Túmulo de Montecalvario, un conjunto de tumbas con cuatro entradas orientadas a los puntos cardinales. En el siglo XII se unió a la Liga del Chianti y fue un enclave militar clave para Florencia. Su fortaleza, la Rocca, alberga hoy el Museo Arqueológico del Chianti Senese, y la calle cubierta de Via delle Volte rodea el casco antiguo. Hoy es uno de los corazones del vino y el aceite del Chianti.</p>
