Castellina in Chianti — Via delle Volte
Tuscany
The Via delle Volte, a stone-vaulted internal passage built into the walls of Castellina in Chianti, allowed medieval defenders to move between towers unseen and now offers a cool, shaded walk through the heart of the old town. It links directly to open lanes with views out over the surrounding Chianti vineyards.
