Castellina Untold: Etruscan History, Hidden Trails & the Wine That Built a Border Town (Tuscany Travel Guide, PDF)

Castellina in Chianti looks peaceful today. For four centuries it was the most fought-over town on the Florence–Siena frontier — and almost everything interesting about the region traces back to that history. This guide covers the Etruscan tomb hiding in plain sight, the walled town's siege history, the real story behind Chianti's black rooster emblem, eight genuinely overlooked excursions within thirty minutes, and the wine estates that still carry that history in their names.
