Dear Friend
Today I want to talk about the medieval Montefioralle Borgo, a wonderfultown located in the heart of Chianti (between Siena and Florence).
Montefioralle is probably one of the oldest towns in the area, as it is referenced in documents dating from1000 AD, which speak of the ruling families who were probably from Lombardo.
The village, like most walls and castles of the time, was built on the highest hill in the area and offers visitors breathtaking views of the beautiful hills of Chianti.

This village is one of my favouritesin the area with its unique geographical locationand the pretty streets. A walk throughMontefioralle is like travelling back in time.
Its medieval streets adorned withflowers are so relaxing, especially delightful in the spring.
Near the village of Montefioralle, there are also many bars which produce excellent wine. In fact the Chianti area, where Montefioralle is located, is considered one of the best areas for wine productionin Tuscany.
During my last visit, my friends and I participated in a great wine tasting at a bar called Montefioralle, eponymous with the village you can see here on the blog.
I hope as always that this information will be useful.
Best wishes
Giorgio
