Castello di Tornano is located at 5
Km from Gaiole in Chianti, near Siena, on a hillside amid woods
and vineyards, in the southern part of the Chianti region. Gaiole
in Chianti has been a market town since 1200 and now is a central
destinantion for touring southern Chianti. The area around it is
dotted with castles; perched on hilltops (the better to see the
approaching enemy), they were of great strategic importance during
the Renaissance. Today it just means that the views are always dazzling.
