    Tips

    The Brolio Castle is the first striking point of the Eroica, the cycling event for classic bicycles. After starting from Gaiole and warming up on the gently ascending road up to La Madonna, the first violent climb over gravel comes up to the castle. Those who drive the long Eroica circuit are mostly still in the dark here. If you follow the Eroica route outside of the event, you will probably pass here in light, and that's a good thing. Because both the castle is worth seeing, but especially the view from above into the valley.

        You meet this castle at the end of the first ascent of the Eroica, coming from Gaiole in Chianti. The castle deserves a refreshment/water break after the climb, to then set off again on the white brackets towards the rest of the first heroic stage.
