The Best Tuscan Wineries to Visit Near Florence, Italy

"Located in the tiny hamlet of Lamole, this high-elevation Chianti Classico estate (part of the Santa Margherita Group) farms six organically tended vineyards between roughly 1,150 and 2,250 feet, producing wines marked by freshness, elegance and aromatic power. Visitor itineraries range from village-and-vineyard walks with paired tastings to a gourmet package that includes a meal at the fine-dining restaurant Vitique, where chef Antonio Guerra serves a tasting menu matched to the house labels; accommodation options include Suite Greve in Chianti in a 19th-century building. The estate’s Chianti Classico Riserva La Reale captures the site’s Sangiovese character with harmonious berry and herb notes and cellar potential." - Federico De Cesare Viola
