Florence to Sienna- CHIANTI

So, we left Florence on the so called Chianti Strada, where all the world's Chianti is made. Nothing like the raw black stuff we used to buy in the beehive flagon when we were young of course, this is the high quality gear that everyone flocks to.
We rode to a town called Greve the first day on this trip, which is supposed to be in the heart of the Chianti district, but I was disappointed, because there was no camping, and the Chianti we bought at a wine shop there pretty ordinary. Hannelore warmed to the place however, when we found a hotel overlooking the town square.
Next day, we continued on to Sienna, but lunchtime found us at a gaspingly high town called Radda, and we ended up in a lovely restaurant, where I had fresh pasta with fagioli, and Hannelore had freshly made risotto, both dishes delicious. The waiter sold us off Chianti, although Radda is in the heart of the region, onto something called Brunello, which we'd never heard of, which also turned out to be delicious.
Sienna was a bit disappointing for us as well, we spent a full day there, but perhaps old narrow streets and cobbles are a bit too normal for us now.
The first picture is the Tuscan countryside as we came out of Florence, the second is Hannelore enjoying a rare hot cafe latte at Panzano, on the way out, the third more of the brilliant Tuscan countryside, it all seems to be like this, and the last two in Sienna. The first of these is the Duomo, the second the singularly extraordinary Campo.
