키안티의 가이올레 최고의 사이클링 경로

Located just south of Gaiole, Meleto Castle is one of the most fascinating castles in Chianti. Documented since the 11th century as a property of the Abbey of Coltibuono, it later passed under the control of the Ricasoli family, who made it one of the main fortresses defending the area. The imposing structure still retains its medieval appearance with its massive square tower, crenellated walls, and two elegant cylindrical bastions added in the 15th century. Inside, there is an elegant courtyard, frescoed rooms, a chapel, and even a small 18th-century theater. Today, the castle is open to visitors and hosts events, tastings, and wine-related activities, offering splendid views of the Chianti countryside.

This imposing medieval castle now houses a luxury residence and is home to a winery specializing in the production of Chianti Classico wine.

Crossing the entrance gate to Brolio Castle, you enter a dirt road that proceeds steeply uphill surrounded by trees. You can pedal while enjoying the refreshment of the branches that guide you to the 12th century castle.
