Fiesole

Perched on the steep hills rising directly above Florence, the ancient enclave of Fiesole leverages its unique microclimate and elevated clay soils to nurture 16 protected designations. Among these, the local Colli dell'Etruria Centrale DOC and Chianti DOCG thrive on the sunny slopes surrounding the town. These specific hillsides shape the distinct character of the wines, which visitors can experience firsthand at the 1 verified local producer based here, which is open for visits. This intimate scale connects Fiesole's historic elevation directly to the glass, making it a highly focused micro-terroir of Tuscan viticulture.
