Radda in Chianti

Thanks to its mediaeval centre, Radda in Chianti is one of the most attractive wine towns of the Chianti Classico. The central Piazza Ferrucci, crooked lanes and archways, give the district original flair.

Since 1415, Radda in Chianti has been known as the headquarters of the Lega del Chianti and has developed into a famous winegrowing centre. The grapes grown on the surrounding hills are made into a distinct wine.

The beautiful Palazzo del Podesta, which is bordered by the shopping boulevard Via Roma, dates back to the 15th century. The church San Niccolo, which is located directly in the main square, uses one of the castle's old towers as a freestanding bell tower.
