The Castles of Gaiole in Chianti

Spectacular documentary that highlights the destiny of this inland land and coveted by the best winemakers. Around the hills of Gaiole some lords of commerce on the way to Siena and Florence built their homes. The land was ignorant and stony yet around the Castles the vine brought further luck. The castle of Brolio, the castle of Ama, the castle of Meleto and the castle of Spaltenna are taken up in the majesty and historical importance. The interiors can be visited and return the journey to reach this small town. You can see the frescoes, the armories, the antique furniture. In the rooms elegant restaurants or simple trattorias have been created that offer traditions such as the spiced wine called Hippocratic and the simpler, dit'unto. 'The interior light of the human body' reads the title of a glass display in French as if to perceive the sacrifice that begins with the hand that cultivates the vine and ends with refinement in the cellar.
