Castello di Vicchiomaggio
AttractionChiantiAbout 1.5 hours
A fortified estate above Greve with vineyards falling away on three sides — one of the cluster of castle wineries on the northern stretch of the Chiantigiana that take visitors. Closer to Florence than Brolio, which makes it the practical choice on a day trip rather than a stay.
