Fonterutoli Attractions

The landscape of Chianti can again be seen at its very loveliest on the last stretch of the Chiantigiana proper between Forterutoli - a village first mentioned in a document of 998, with a charming townscape and pretty piazzetta well worth pausing to enjoy - and Quercegrossa. Interspersed between wooded hilltops and olive groves mingle in pleasing harmony while dark rows of cypresses mark ancient lanes to abandoned manor- and farmhouses. Then, at journey's end, the rust-red circle of houses that is Siena comes finally into view.
