The 70 kilometres that draw the Chianti Road are dotted with castles, fortresses, small villages, expanses of vineyards and olive groves, for a journey of pure magic that will leave you breathless. The Via Chiantigiana SR222 will take you from Florence to Siena aboard the new Lamborghini Urus SUV, leading you through an itinerary made of many dreamy landscapes and small secret places set along the route. To visit Chianti you can start from Greve in Chianti, considered the gateway to the whole area and one of its symbols, where the green hills leave space for the small medieval village. In Greve, in Chianti, you can find everything you expect from a stay in Tuscany: beautiful views, good wine, typical products, art and culture. Here the Piazza del Mercato houses the Palazzo Comunale and the Church of Santa Croce, famous for the precious works of sacred art kept inside.
