Bike ride to Volpaia in Chianti Tuscany Italy
Bike ride up and down the hills of Chianti to Volpaia in Chianti Tuscany Italy. This village now a part of Radda in Chianti was a medieval castle. It was transformed to rural homes during the course of the centuries. My bike route to reach this place was 120 km back and forth from where I live passing through Greve in Chianti, Panzano in Chianti then on the medieval White Roads traced by the Guelfi during the 12th century. Enjoy the amazing view along the way and listen to the songs of Ernie Oldfield. This bike ride and slideshow is dedicated to my cousins Beverlyn & Marcel of California who came to visit this place last year.

Vignavecchia - The most classic Chianti Classico
Fattoria Vignavecchia is located in the Province of Siena, about one kilometre outside the town of Radda in Chianti, and commands a spectacular view.
The estate extends over 42 hectares, including 19 hectares of vineyards and 3 of olive groves. The remaining land is covered by coppice and tall stem woodlands, so typical of the Tuscan hillsides.
In 1996 the Estate transferred its main offices from the historic Palazzo Beccari, in Radda's town centre, out to the 19th-century Vignavecchia main farm building, a typically Tuscan construction. Extensive renovation work included the enlargement and the technological rehabilitation of the cellars, to ensure that they were suitable for winemaking, aging and packaging; once all the refurbishment work was completed the Estate moved its headquarters to these facilities which also include two apartments for the staff.
Vignavecchia vineyards grow on Pliocene soils consisting mainly of clayey schists, rich in skeleton, at an altitude ranging between 410 and 500 metres asl.
The grape varieties grown here are Sangiovese (70%), Canaiolo (10%), Merlot (10%), San Colombano (Verdea) (5%), Malvasia and Chardonnay (5%).
On soils like these, at these altitudes, the growth cycle of vines continues well into the second half of October; the grape harvest hardly ever begins before the second week in October.
At Vignavecchia the wines made from Sangiovese and Canaiolo grapes do not present deep or rich colour hues, but they are densely perfumed. The intense, elegant scents are the result both of the increased chlorophyll synthesis (brought about by higher UV radiation), and of the combination of lower temperatures and higher altitudes at which the vines are grown.

The characteristic features of Vignavecchia wines include: an excellent degree of acidity, a moderate alcoholic content, and a great aging potential.

Greve In Chianti Tuscany Italy / Land of Gallo Nero
Gallo Nero or Black Rooster is the label of bottles of wines produced in this zone between the province of Siena and Florence Italy. Greve as you see there is no walls around, it means that it has always been a peaceful and market place for agricoltural products since the old times. It gave birth to Amerigo Vespucci, America was named after him and also Giovanni da Verazzano Who discovered New York. I like this place very much and it is only about 15 miles from where I live.
