Between Siena and Florence is Chianti country with its famous DOC vineries. The scenery is really nice, rolling green hills, vineyards and picturesque hilltop villages. We stopped at Castellina, Rada (most ornate loo Rosemary has ever graced) and Greve (the wine capital of Chianti). It was a bit hairy at times negotiating the steep windy roads in thunder storms. In Greve there is a wine museum where we purchased a sample card (10 euros) which is then used in automated wine dispensers. There are over 140 different wines to sample from 100euros/bottle downwards. We tried a few and bought a bottle (or 2) before descending into the Arno valley for a campsite near to Florence.
