A private day trip reaching Siena, the walled village of Monteriggioni, San Gimignano, and Fonterutoli's Chianti wine estate. Leave the navigating to your driver so you can take photos on the scenic ride, visiting the medieval cities of Siena and San Gimignano plus the fortified village of Monteriggioni, and trying wine in the famous Chianti region at Fonterutoli.
Monteriggioni was built to be a problem for Florence. The Sienese raised its walls between 1213 and 1219 on a hilltop overlooking the old Via Cassia, and the fortress town — 14 towers on square bases, still standing largely untouched since construction — fell only once in its history, in 1554, and only through betrayal rather than a direct assault. Dante was so struck by it during his exile that he compared the towers to giants guarding the pit of Hell in Canto XXXI of his Inferno.
Fonterutoli, your wine stop, has belonged to the Mazzei family since 1435 — 24 generations in the same hands — though the family's ties to this exact wine run deeper still. In 1398, ancestor Ser Lapo Mazzei wrote one of the earliest documents ever to use the term "Chianti wine," and the estate itself sits on ground that holds an Etruscan necropolis and an old Roman road beneath its vineyards.
Fonterutoli also happens to be the setting of Chianti's best-known legend. The story goes that Siena and Florence once settled a border dispute by each sending a knight out at dawn toward the other — Florence rigged the contest by starving its chosen rooster so it would crow (and free the knight) well before sunrise, letting the Florentine rider claim ground as far out as Fonterutoli, just 12 km from Siena itself, before the two met. It's a medieval tale rather than verified history, but it's the reason Chianti wine still carries a black rooster on the label today.
