The village of Vertine is a tiny fortified town in the Chianti Valley. Walking through its narrow streets is like taking a journey into the glorious past of this area: the stone walls, entrance arches, and towers are a living testament to this.

Good to drive

Beautiful motif

Vertine is one of the most charming fortified villages in Chianti, perfectly preserved and rich in history. The castle, dating back to the early 12th century and linked to the Ricasoli family, constitutes the original nucleus of the village, with stone walls and houses clustered within. The entrance is dominated by an imposing 13th-century square tower, built to strengthen defenses during the conflicts between Florence and Siena. Inside the village is the Romanesque church of San Bartolomeo, also from the 12th century, simple and intimate, with original features clearly visible. Strolling through the narrow cobbled streets, you can still breathe in the atmosphere of the Middle Ages, while the views of the Chianti hills make Vertine an ideal stop for those who love history, architecture, and nature.
