San Casciano vineyards and Villa Le Corti winery

Today we ride from Tavarnuzze to San Casciano crossing the north Chianti area, close to Florence but completely different, with rolling hills ad sweet roads that through the country.
While you ride theese paths you don't think how long the climb is or how far the next stop is, the nature surround you and bring you in a dream.
In San Casciano we stop at Villa le Corti, a wonderful farm that produce great oil and wine, but it is also a piece of tuscan history. Built in middle age and perfctly preserved, the villa is inside a huge country owned by Corsini prince.

This lovely luxury place is perfect to taste tuscan wine and food.

Vinci and Leonardo's birthplace

A lovely afternoon on the rolling hills around Vinci, where the great genius was born and lived.
The village is a middle age group of little houses with a castle that now is a museum dedicated to Leonardo, where you will found many of his incredible inventions rebuilt.
The terrace up on the hill is big and offers an amazing view over the valley, the same valley that you will found as background in the world wide most famous picture, the Gioconda.

Eroica vintage bicycle tour

Fatigue, dust, gravel, wool, wet, wind, sun, strength, breath, bread, wine, joy!
This is eroica, this is riding on dirty roads in Chianti country, one of the most beautiful experiences that you can try in Tuscany.
Like in the golden age of hero cyclists Bartali and Coppi, we ride this old roads with old bikes and vintage equipment.
No carbon frame, no power bars for snack, no technical cloths, but iron bike, wool shirt, bread with salame and wine, of course.
