CASTELLO DI QUERCETO

The Querceto Castle, of Lombard origin and owned by the Franois family since 1897, stood as a lookout on the Via Cassia Imperiale, one of the main arteries of the Roman era. Today, framed by the greenery of the woods and hills, the castle retains its original medieval appearance. In 1924 it was part of the thirty-three founding companies of the Chianti Classico Consortium. In its cellar, highly prized antique bottles are kept, starting from the first harvests of the 20th century. At the bottom of the valley there is a picturesque fishing lake.

How to get there

Coming from the north: A1 exit Incisa Valdarno.
Coming from the south: A1 exit Valdarno; in both cases continue towards Greve in Chianti.
