Fodor's Expert Review Volpaia
Radda in Chianti
Town/Village
This tiny town, with a population of roughly 40, is perched on a hill 10 km (6 miles) north of Radda. During the wars between Florence and Siena, it served as a key castle and military outpost, but lost its importance when the Florentines defeated Siena in 1555. Approximately three-quarters of the town is now given over to the production of wine and olive oil.
