Castello da Verrazzano





This is the castle where Giovanni da Verrazzano [2 z's] was born and where they have been making superb Chianti for over 1000 years. It's located in Greve in Chianti smack in the center of the Chianti DOC region.
There are accommodations and superb dining and luncheons. I can attest to this by personal experience. A visit to Tuscany should include at least a visit. What makes this an ideal place to stay is that it's located almost equidistant from Florence and Siena and a public bus runs that takes you to both cities.
