Italy Bike Day 4 Siena to Montalcino - May 2016
Started the day with a much needed bicycle repair in Siena. The mechanic at Rossi Martino Di Rossi Luca & C. S.A.S worked magic and saved our trip. We had some great off road rides on the Via Francigena today with eye grabbing Tuscan scenery. The final eight mile climb to Montalcino at the end of the day nearly did me in, but in the end it was worth it. You can view other days of our trip on my YouTube Channel - jcklive.

Last Friday, we took another school trip-this time to Siena! We took a (private) bus from Florence in the morning and returned that evening. We had tours and guides for most of the places we visited and learned about the rich history of the city.

FMA Tuscany - Siena, Florence, San Gimignano
Heute kommt der letzte Beitrag von unserem Urlaub in Italien. Wo wir gewohnt haben wisst ihr ja schon, deswegen gibt es heute einfach noch ein paar visuelle Eindrücke in Videoform. Wir haben in den paar Tagen in der Toskana wirklich viel unternommen, waren in Florenz, Siena und San Gimignano, haben Eis und Pizza gegessen und insgesamt einfach eine wunderschöne Zeit verbracht. Manchmal tut es so gut, zusammen mit der Familie zu verreisen, gemeinsam neue Erinnerungen zu schaffen und das Leben zu genießen. La dolce vita wird schließlich nirgends mehr zelebriert als in Italien. Wie das am besten geht und was ihr unbedingt unternehmen solltet, wenn ihr in der Toskana seid verrate ich euch in meinen persönlichen Top 10 Things To Do In Tuscany am Blog!

Southern Tuscany has some of the most enchanting landscapes in Italy. Picturesque hill towns are surrounded by verdant rolling hills, fertile vineyards, and ancient olive groves. This region produces robust red wines and smooth creamy cheeses. This tour shows you the best of Southern Tuscany. We stay in the picture-perfect hill towns of Cortona, Pienza, and Montepulciano. We visit Medieval castles, a thermal bath, and an organic cheese farm. Stunning rides during the day are followed by sumptuous Tuscan dinners at night. Riding distances are flexible. Van support is there so you can ride a lot or a little, it is up to you.
Day 1 Cortona We rendezvous at our hotel in Cortona. Cortona can easily be reached by direct trains from Florence (1.5 hours) and from Rome (2 hours). We have lunch, get fitted on the bikes and do a warm up ride. Group dinner in a small ristorante.
Day 2 Cortona A short ride takes us to Pierle and its crumbling 14th Century castle. Cycling south we crest a ridge with views over Trasimeno Lake. A downhill leads to the lakeside village of Tuoro. We picnic in Tuoro before riding back to Cortona.
Day 3 Pienza We ride through open farmland before arriving in the town of Montepulciano. The highest of Tuscany’s hill towns, Montepulicano has a perfectly preserved historic center chock a block full of Renaissance palaces and wineries. Tour a winery to learn more about the local wine called Vino Nobile. We follow quiet backroads on our way to Pienza, a utopian Renaissance town. In the 15th Century a Pope transformed his hometown into this architectural wonder. Our hotel is located in a 15th Century monastery in the center of town.
Day 4 Pienza A country road through a sun-drenched valley leads to a fairy tale castle. You can climb the tower of the Radicofani castle for breathtaking views. We have a group lunch in the shadow of the castle walls. On the way back to Pienza we stop at an organic cheese farm where we see how fresh ewe’s milk is transformed into aromatic Tuscan cheese.
Day 5 Montalcino A fast downhill takes us to an ancient thermal bath called Bagno Vignoni. Swim or soak in the thermal waters before enjoying a group lunch in a small trattoria. After lunch we roll through a walled village with a lovely rose garden. The road climbs steeply through pristine vineyards before arriving in Montalcino. Our hotel has panoramic rooms overlooking a panoramic pool. Montalcino is known for a red wine called Brunello. This dense, robust red is among the most prestigious wines in the world. Before dinner we visit the Montalcino castle and learn about the local wines during a guided wine tasting.
Day 6 Montalcino We roll through Brunello vineyards on our way to a secluded abbey. The 12th Century Sant’Antimo Abbey is Tuscany’s most beautiful Romanesque church. Heading further south we cycle to the Banfi estate and winery. We tour the winery, sample their most prestigious vintages, and have a group lunch at their restaurant. A long uphill takes us back to Montalcino.
Day 7 Castelnuovo Berardenga We ride through a wide-open landscape. Quintessential Tuscan farmhouses and cypress lined lanes embellish a rolling countryside. This is the road you see in many Tuscan postcards. Along the way we stop at a hillside monastery and tour its frescoed cloister. Our ride ends at a country inn located in a small 16th century village. We celebrate our weeklong adventure with a group dinner.
Day 8 Shuttle to Siena After breakfast we accompany you to the Siena train station. The train to Florence takes 1.5 hours while the train to Rome takes 3.5 hours.

San Gusmè Travel Journal • The guide of Siena and the countryside
In this video I’m going to tell you about a small cute and praised village situated in the Municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga, one of the doors of Chianti!
Chianti is known for amazing wine, tours and bike rides…
Let’s examine closer what Luca Cava's little village is and what does it have to offer…
For the first time San Gusmè was mentioned in the Bille of sale from February of 867, in which Sienese earl Winigi di Ranieri gives to the Monastery of San Salvatore from Berardenga all his possessions situated in the surroundings of the church of Santi Cosma and Damiano.
From the XII century the village becomes the stronghold of Ricasoli family, famous also for the Baron Bettino, mayor of Florence and second president of the Council of the Kingdom of Italy after Cavour, who, it is said, is still living in the area around Brolio Castle as a ghost.
San Gusmè was united with the Municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga in 1777.
The fest of Luca Cava is a local tradition, an initiative dedicated to the statue, made in 1888 by a local peasant, it represents a man in a position of body needs and it served to indicate the fact that one was completely welcome to do them there, in order to use the result as a fertiliser for the gardens… and here the mockery song was born.
Thanks to Silvio Gigli, an important Italian journalist born in Siena, the Fest in the honour of Luca Cava welcomes important guests from the Italian music panorama every year.
San Gusmè today still represents an example of a medieval fortified village, of a circular form, delimited by partly existent city wall. Of this wall, well represented in a plan of the end of the XVI century, some parts still remain, with its rectangular bastions, mostly englobed by later constructed buildings.
La pieve dei Santi Damiano e Cosma, from where the village takes its name is situated in San Gusmè, on its high altar is placed the Annunciation from the XV century, attributed to young Pietro Sorri, painter of the early XVII century, principally active between Siena and Florence, but also in the Tuscan and Italian cities, later he was identified as a mannerist by the style of Vasari, the architect of Uffizi gallery in Florence.
The church of Compagnia della Santissima Annunziata is also situated inside the village, with a standing neomedieval bell tower built between the end of the XIX and the beginning of the XX century.

My Grandpa and I couldn't be any more fortunate to visit this winery, Agriturismo - Fattoria la Muraglia, owned by two Deaf Italian brothers, Giovanni and Paolo Convito, in Siena.
I was in total awe of the 74-acre farm when I arrived at the winery. So huge and covered with vineyards, olive groves, woods, and grain. Not to mention how beautiful it was, especially the buildings.
