The road unwinds for about 200km crossing several diversified winemakers: Chianti D.O.C.G., Chianti Colli aretini D.O.C.G., Colli Etruria Centrale D.O.C., Valdichiana D.O.C. and Cortona D.O.C. Vinsanto del Chianti D.O.C. and Chianti Colli Aretini D.O.C. .

By way of Tuscan landscape with vineyards, olive groves, tabacco cultivations, chestnut groves, and wild forests, both artistic beauty and archaeological wonders join together. The road goes from S.Giovanni Valdarno, birth place of Masaccion and leads on towards Montevarchi, where the Cavriglia park is located.

An incredible variety of habitats characterize this corner of Valdarno. The open sky mining activity has left a heritage of a lunar like landscape, and one is left to immagine the plyocenic lake that existed and which was surrounded by a tropical forest that still today gives way for fossil findings of tigers, hyenas and mammoth elephants.

The road is embraced by the rows of vineyards that are sculpted into the hillside, boroughs and castles, close to Cavriglia and its potected park. It runs through the heart of the Chiantigiani Mountains and connects to a main road towards Mercatale Valdarno and continues on through more vineyards and monuments like the Tower of Galatrona and the Pieve of Petrolo, all the way to Bucine.

At the crossroads of Capannole another road begins between the castles and olive groves and goes to Pergine and Montozzi, from where the age old groves that surround the village, produce extra virgin olive oil. All of Valdarno and part of Valdichiana can be seen from nearby Civitella and its fortress. Starting back from the crossroads of Capannole the road goes directly to the heart of Valdambra, the Cennina castle, the antique Abbey of Ruoti and the ancient hillside boroughs of the castle. From Ambra one can also chose the Via of Montebenichi which crosses that hilly landscape flaunting its many rural masterpeices perfectly tucked away in the territory, perfect today for creating Agritourism.

Among the vineyards and olive groves, the Pieve of Sant Maria in Altaserra, there is the medieval village with the Stendardi Palazzo (or the Palazzo of Capitan Goro of Montebenichi who was the military commander of the Bande Nere in the XVI century), which was restored in the Aragonese style in the beginning of the 10th century. Following the main road from Ambra towards la Colonna del Grillo, it opens with its fields of grapes in the direction of Monte S. Savino, coasting alongside the historic Castle of Gargonza.From Monte San Savino you can double back to Valdichiana all the way the Lucignano, rising in a spiral fashion, and then to Foiano; after a quick stop at the Temple of Ammannati at the Well of Chiana, you go up to Cortona with its Etruscan and Roman archaeological digs, to the Museum of Etruscan Academy and the beautiful panoramic view of Valdichiana in its entirety.

And here we are in the heart of Valdichiana with yet another itinerary within the vast grape vines, olive groves and imposing Leopold style houses that tell us the story of the valley reclaimed by the Grand Duke Leopold. Following the state Umbro Casentinese road you'll encounter Castiglion Fiorentino, with its beautiful plaza, witness to the genio del Sangallo, which meets up with Arezzo.

This is a medieval city surrounded by hills of vineyards and olive groves, rising up as the center of 4 small valleys rich in history and culture, that also produce the highest quality of natural foodstuffs. Every month there is the Antiquarian Fair that unfolds into the streets of the historical center. There are two museums here which are the Etruscan museum that is placed in an Olivetan convent in the Roman ampitheatre and the well endowed medieval picture gallery; numerous artistic monuments where one can find works by Piero della Francesca, Giorgio Vasara and Andrea della Robbia. From Arezzo the Sette Ponti province unfolds into the Pratomagno.

The beautifully carved and grapevine lined hills here are an example of perfect harmony between mankind and mother nature. Following along the fortified rural borough of Borro and then reaching Loro Ciuffenna, you'll find the Roman Pieve of Gropina, returning then all the way to San Giovanni Valdarno passing Castelfranco. Further directions are available from the Information Center situated in the charming Piazza Grande di Arezzo. Choosing this route does not cover all the richness that this territory has to offer, but it does however give you a chance to learn about Aretini wines, the gastronomy, the people, the hospitality, the traditions, the splendid nature, the art and the high standard of living in the Terre di Arezzo (The Lands of Arezzo).
