Italy

Selvole is immersed in the Chianti Classico hills, 15 minutes from Siena. It is surrounded by woods, vineyards and olive groves, and can only be reached by following some historic unpaved roads typical of Chianti. These roads are protected by the region because the Eroica, an annual vintage bicycle racing event that takes place in autumn, passes through them. According to the organizers, "since 1997 L'Eroica has been an example of the enhancement of the environmental heritage, of a sustainable lifestyle, and of clean cycling." The sweet landscapes and the luxuriant nature satisfy the eye and regenerate the spirit, offering a bucolic peace away from the city tension.

SERVICES

One of the oldest wineries in Tuscany, Selvole produces around 200,000 bottles of wine per year. Most of the vineyards are located in the small valley between Selvole and Brolio where Chianti Classico was born 300 years ago. Of the 40 hectares of vineyards that Selvole cultivates, half has been recently planted at very high density with Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
