The town of Greve in Chianti
Located in the heart of the Chianti hills, Greve has been the capital of Chianti since the 13th century and is one of the historic gems of the region...
Greve is located at an important crossroads: from north to south the road from Florence to Siena, and from east to west, the road between Val d’Arno and Val d’Elsa. Every year, in the middle of September, in the triangular Piazza Matteotti there is a wine festival with the presentation of the new Chianti. The lively piazza is surrounded by shops, bars and restaurants.
Greve’s economy is based on wine, olive oil production and traditional craft workshops that still use age-old craft techniques.
Greve is also a “Città slow” member, a movement that since its creation in 1999 strives to maintain the quality of life in Italian towns.
