Greve in Chianti is situated almost halfway between Florence and Siena.
Already in the past the country was an important commercial center where converging interests of the castles perched on the surrounding hills.

Remarkable is the cultural and artistic heritage of this town which mainly works of pottery, paintings on wood and frescoes, its geographical position between the two poles of art of Tuscany (Florence and Siena), could not but affect positively.

Striking is its market square, triangular in shape and surrounded by porticoes, here, today, is held on a Saturday morning one of the most important markets in the region.
Among the events we remember that in the second week of September each year we celebrate the festival of Chianti Classico.
