We are located above Greve in Chianti in the heart of Tuscany, between two great cities of the Renaissance: Florence & Siena. Here the work of nature and the work of man has shaped a unique landscape. Vineyards and olive groves interspersed with farmhouses, turreted castles and fortresses and ancient hamlets: this is the typical Chianti landscape, possibly the best-known of all of Tuscany. – La Macina di San Cresci
