モンテスペルトリのおすすめツーリングルート

Poppiano Castle, located in the Florentine Chianti hills near Montespertoli, is an imposing medieval building that has endured centuries of history. Originally built as a defensive fortification, it was transformed over time into a stately residence. The Guicciardini family, among the most influential in Florence, had a profound connection to the castle: Francesco Guicciardini, a celebrated Renaissance historian and politician, spent part of his life there and used it as a base for his agricultural and political activities. Today, Poppiano Castle is an example of how history and tradition can coexist with modernity. The property is still owned by the Guicciardini family and continues to produce high-quality wine and olive oil, preserving the region's distinctive agricultural traditions. The castle is also open to visitors, offering guided tours that allow visitors to explore its history, cellars, and surrounding vineyards.

A small stone-built rural village, originally a medieval agricultural settlement, it is a true example of the Tuscan character typical of ancient rural villages, clustered around the church, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, and offering views of the surrounding valleys.

Sir…back to the past! Like knights on the horse of steel, carbon or aluminum along the path that leads to the fort (the city of San Gimignano).

In the Elsa Valley, the fifteen feudal towers of San Gimignano beckon to the sky as if to a loved one. From the Porta San Giovanni to the Piazza della Cisterna, walkers wonder if they have been taken back to the Middle Ages in a time machine. Imagine the great stone structures, where there once stood 72, adorned with banners of three fabrics, painted with saffron as they could only do here! San Gemignano, a bit of a victim of its own success, is always teeming with tourists, but the magic remains nevertheless.

With a view of San Michele a Strada you are at the border of the town of San Geminiano, the town in Siena famous for its towers and therefore also on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Beautiful medieval town. In the old town you can only push your bike.

A journey into the Middle Ages that is absolutely worth visiting Better to reach it via the easy and well-equipped path in the canonica park

Track for gravel or MTB only. Some fords require you to get off your bike. However, an excellent solution away from traffic and in the middle of nature.
