On the rolling hills around the city of Florence lie the vineyards and olive groves of Chianti Colli Fiorentini, this small but surprising area is full of beauty, history, good food and above all, excellent wines.
The authors of this unique landscape and its products are the winemakers and agricultural workers who for generations have carefully taken care of preserving a landscape and a culture of living and drinking well that is admired throughout the world. Chianti Colli Fiorentini and its producers have always had a close connection with the city of Florence, the consortium logo is the most concrete proof of this: The symbol that distinguishes the production of the associated estates is the Marzocco – the rampant lion on the tower of Palazzo Vecchio – which instead of a spear holds aloft a glass of wine. The Chianti Colli Fiorentini winemakers have always focused on superior quality of products, directing their philosophy towards a strong territoriality and authenticity, creating Wine, Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Vin Santo with a proudly Tuscan character. It is possible to experience first-hand the uniqueness of these companies, almost all family-run, small and mostly organic, through tastings and tours of the cellars to discover the production of Chianti Colli Fiorentini but also of wonderful IGT Red, White, Rosé and Sparkling wines, expression of a great desire to innovate, while remaining with their feet firmly planted in the centuries-old tradition of these places. A true full immersion to understand and savor this area is possible above all by staying in Agri turismo and first-class accommodation facilities that this area has to offer. Many of the cellars are located a short distance from Florence, allowing for a relaxing and bucolic stay with the city just a stone’s throw away. The Chianti Colli Fiorentini companies know how to offer truly unforgettable food and wine experiences, tailor-made for people who want to get lost in the countryside around Florence and appreciate the slow passage of time, listening to stories, meeting people and savoring the true essence of the Wine of Florence.
