How To Find the Best Version of You in Tuscany
Superior wines combined with beautiful places are a powerful mix than can pretty much bring out the best version of you.
Castel di Volpaia in Radda di Chianti
First off, you need a superior wine like a refined Chianti Classico. Then, you need to land yourself in a magical spot shrouded in beauty like some countryside in Tuscany. At this point, sip after sip and step after step you see something extraordinary happening - you see yourself turn into the best version of you.
Castello di Volpaia in Chianti is a place that can do exactly that to you. It’s in the Chianti area between Florence and Siena and it rises on a lush hill overlooking the typically vine-striped landscape of this part of Tuscany.
Tiny little Castello di Volpaia was established in 1172 as a defensive outpost for the Florentine Republic against Siena. It has a small church built in 1443 by the Canigiani family so that they could join the Knights of Malta. The church was deconsecrated and its basement was used as The Carnigiani’s wine cellar for aging the very Chianti Classico. The family also set up wineducts across the village at harvest time to connect various buildings — a medieval-meets-modern way of gravity-flow winemaking.
With its restaurant, hotel and winery, essentially Castello di Volpaia now is a top notch place for wine-tasting, eating and sleeping anyone with good sense should visit once in their life.
