Castellina in Chianti stands on a chain of hills in the Chianti area. The heart of the town is the ancient fortress, designed in the second half of the fifteenth century by Giuliano da Sangallo. Via Ferruccio, the Church of San Salvatore, some patrician palaces and some places where you can taste a good glass of Chianti Classico make it a perfect resting place.

It is definitely worth a stop and a coffee. There is a public fountain at the end of the village.
