In the middle of picturesque Chianti, north east of Siena, lies Gaiole in Chianti.
|
The area is known for its world-famous wines, but as well as the numerous vineyards, you can find plenty of medieval castles and fortresses dotted about the landscape.
|
Nearby is Castello di Spaltenna, where you can see the impressive Pieve di Santa Maria, a Roman village church with three naves, an apse and an outstanding bell tower.
