Villa Bordoni
Local restaurants
La Cantinetta di Rignana in Greve-in-Chianti (+39 055 852 601) is an informal trattoria serving Tuscan and Chiantigiana dishes, including cold cuts, cheeses and hearty game dishes and there are exquisite views. Taste the best prosciutto and salami in Tuscany at L’Antica Macelleria Cecchini in Panzano (+39 055 852 020). We can wholeheartedly recommend a long lazy lunch fuelled by Batar. The Montrachet-alike 2001 vintage from Querciabella is liquid heaven.
Worth getting out of bed for
Get a taste for the wines of Chianti by visiting local vineyards; give Lawrence d’Almeida a call and he can not only arrange a table for you for lunch, but guide you round the grapes (+39 055 642 828; www.wineandchianti.com).
