TUSCANY MARVEL (CLASSICS)

Product Information

In recent years the most important contemporary architecture projects in Tuscany have been wine cellars. These include the Cantina Petra in Livorno by Mario Botta, which is sunken into a hillside; the magnificent Cantina Antinori in the province of Florence, a futuristic structure in Corten steel with a signature spiral staircase on the exterior by Archea Associati; and the Cantina Frassinello in Gavorrano, Grosseto, a minimalist contemporary castle designed by Renzo Piano. There are plenty of things to do in the area, from wine tastings and cooking classes to hikes and bike rides. Chianti is one of Europe’s most prestigious wine regions and stretches across the provinces of Florence, Siena and Arezzo. The passage of time has done little to damage its suspended quality. It is the result of a rare balance, a close relationship between nature and humans. Hard work, pride and love have been poured into the territory from one generation to the next. Their constant protection of the ecosystem anticipates the idea of environmental sustainability.

Make sure you visit the Etruscan Museum Guarnacci and the Pinacoteca and Civic Museum, both in Volterra. In the latter, you can see the incredible Volterra Depositionby Rosso Fiorentino.
