Strada Statale 222 Chiantigiana (Pass by)
Later, we’ll drive along one of the most beautiful Wine Roads in Tuscany, right through the heart of the Chianti region, whose symbol is the famous Black Rooster. According to legend, after years of conflict, Florence and Siena agreed to define their borders by sending two knights—one from each city—who would depart at sunrise when the rooster crowed. The new border would be set where the knights met. The Sienese chose a white rooster, while the Florentines chose a black one. The Florentines, however, kept their rooster in the dark without food, so on the chosen day it crowed in the middle of the night. Their knight left early and rode much farther, reaching a point just 12 km from Siena. This clever trick is said to explain why the border between Florence and Siena is not halfway between the two cities—and why the Black Rooster remains the enduring symbol of Chianti.

3Monteriggioni
After lunch, we’ll head to Monteriggioni for a self-guided visit. Founded by the Sienese in 1213 as a fortress against Florence, Monteriggioni was once considered impregnable. The Florentines could never conquer it through force alone—they succeeded only through deception. By bribing the Sienese captain Giovanni Zeti, they breached the walls, capturing the fortress, sacking the town, and taking many prisoners. Siena was forced to surrender to Florentine rule. According to local legend, on full moon nights, the sounds of trampling hooves and ghostly moans can still be heard. They are said to be the restless spirit of Captain Zeti, unable to find peace after his betrayal. Monteriggioni today is a perfectly preserved medieval village, offering a step back in time and stunning views from its walls.

Chianti wines are made the traditional way—small quantities, exceptional flavor, and centuries of expertise passed down through generations.
