Even more curious was that we had been befriended by two influential winemakers grappling for our attention. The wine flowed freely and the 4 course dinner was being delivered to us along with 200 locals. All seated at\u00a0long tables extending down a cobblestone lane way leading out of the piazza. We soon realised that we were\u00a0actually the tourist attraction in this out of the way\u00a0destination in Tuscany.\r\n\r\nAfter a gruelling cycling tour of Cinque Terra, a few days was required for some rest and relaxation. Our hectic three-week European adventure\u00a0had two\u00a0days of respite pencilled in. It was our\u00a0holiday within a\u00a0holiday. After\u00a0scouring maps, available accommodation and transport options in central Italy, all roads led to Greve in Chianti, well\u00a0positioned in the rolling Tuscan hills not too far south of\u00a0Florence.\r\n\r\nA train from an over-rated leaning tower in Pisa took us to a crowded, sweltering Santa Maria Novella<\/em> train station in Florence. Was this the right move? Where was the laid back serenity? A taxi was hailed\u00a0amid the chaos which quickly pulled out into the traffic and proceeded to take every back road in town.\u00a0I cautiously followed the blue dot on Google Maps\u00a0as it moved south toward Greve in Chianti. I was now relieved the pronunciation of our destination had been communicated effectively.\r\n\r\n
\"Tuscany\"

Tuscany<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\nThe taxi dropped us in Greve\u00a0near a neat looking Piazza Giacomo Matteotti. This it seemed was the central hub of the town. Lain with cobblestones and surrounded by ochre rendered buildings of varying heights, it was an impressive yet\u00a0simplistic piazza. Verandahs circled the piazza containing various cafes, bars, restaurants and cellar doors. Umbrellas were also popped open on many outdoor tables to shelter from the afternoon sun.\r\n\r\nThe Piazza holds a statue of locally born\u00a0explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano. Verrazzano discovered\u00a0many parts of the North American coast from Florida up to Newfoundland. Verrazzano was the first European to set eyes on the Hudson River. The Verrazano-Narrows bridge over the entry to New York harbour is named in his honour.\r\n\r\nWe were booked in at Albergo del Chianti<\/a>, a small but well reviewed BnB just off the square, importantly, containing a sizeable pool. The pool was our first stop after dropping our bags in our modest double room. We\u00a0mentally washed off what had been\u00a0a hectic day to this point and let relaxation take hold. Lounging on the sun beds the remainder of the afternoon.\r\n\r\n

\"The

The central Piazza Giacomo Matteotti showing\u00a0the prominent statue of Giovanni da Verrazzano. Also show the entrance to our accommodation in the bottom right hand corner...<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\nAn pleasant early evening visit to La Terrazza<\/em><\/a> on the piazza followed. We sampled a few glasses of some decent Chianti\u00a0served with a complimentary cured meat, cheese and olive board. With our appetites now warmed up we moved on to la Bottega del Moro Ristorante<\/em><\/a>, located just outside the central piazza next to a small park. A delicious meal was had including a delightful steak and a bottle of the local Chianti really continued the relaxed vibe we'd been seeking the\u00a0past few days.\r\n\r\n

\"La

La Terrazza located in Greve in Chianti<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\nChianti, we discovered, was not just drunk by movie based cannibals with a side of fava beans. Chianti is made with over 70% Sangiovese grapes and can be only considered Chianti Classico if it is produced in the specifically nominated regions in Tuscany. The Chianti Classico can be identified the world over by the black rooster emblem appearing on the neck and seal\u00a0of the bottle. So important is this exclusive branding that many towns in the region, like Greve, have appended Chianti to their name.\r\n\r\nThe next morning we took a hike up a steep\u00a0road to the historic walled village of Montefiorelle. A very quaint and pretty village with a sleepy feel. Only one or two tourists wandered aimlessly about. After briefly looking at the main church, we stumbled\u00a0upon the only open cellar door. Here we met Maurizio who ran his family owned winery located nearby. \u00a0Maurizio was happy to share some wine, bread, olive oil and cheese with us as he told us his story\u00a0of the Maurizio Brogioni Chianti which bore his name and of course the requisite rooster for the region. We picked up a bottle and some olive tapenade\u00a0for our efforts.\r\n\r\n

\"The

The laneways of Montefiorelle<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\nAfter our visit to Montefiorelle we got on a roll. We made our way through the Greve cellar doors sampling these lovely Sangiovese based wines with some eagerness, collecting six or seven bottles in the process. We finished up at il Vinaino de Greve<\/em><\/a> chatting with the proprietor Donatella. A sign out front had promoted postage of wine to anywhere in the world. The only catch being the postage to Australia was nearly double the total cost of our wines purchased to date! A round-a-bout plan ensued, the end result was wine was\u00a0sent to the UK to old mate Dave to be our wine mule back to Australia during an upcoming trip! Thanks Dave!\r\n\r\nDonatella was fantastic arranging it all. On leaving she asked if we wanted to join the long table street event planned to run that evening which would occur right in front of here store\u00a0on via Roma. \u00a0\"Count us in!\" we replied.\r\n\r\n

\"Il

Il Vinaino Di Greve, wine merchant and very helpful proprieter, Donatella.<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\nAfter our second siesta by the pool in as many days we made our way back to via Roma, only one block from our B&B. A 10 Euro donation was required for a seat at the table. This included a 4\u00a0course meal and seemingly a help your self approach to the wine positioned at regular intervals down the table. And, what a table! It ran about 100 metres along the cobblestone laneway. The accompanying bench seats were filling fast and we eventually positioned ourselves outside Donatella's store at her welcoming insistence.\r\n\r\nWe were seated near 4 couples of about 60 years old who were busily chatting to each other so initially paid us little attention as we sat down. We helped ourselves to the already opened wine on the table and attempted chatting with our surrounding patrons who were decidedly local and the\u00a0language barrier excluded us from engaging deep in conversation. The first course came which was\u00a0dished out super efficiently by a team of volunteers.\r\n\r\nMore wine flowed and we had some more success in engaging the locals, including Donatella. A familiar face was walking towards us and it turned out to be Maurizio. We caught his eye so he popped over to briefly to wish us well. A few heads heads now turned our way. A few minutes later Maurizio\u00a0returned and plonked a bottle of his own wine on the table in front of us. A very nice gesture. A gesture which was now drawing even more attention from our surrounding dining companions.\r\n\r\nWe popped the top of Maurizio's wine. It would be rude not to! Our offer of wine to our dining companions was warmly accepted. Even Donatella was keen to try some in comparison to her own wine which it turned out we'd been drinking thus far. Maurizio had given us some serious street cred from the locals at our table! Like we'd just been blessed by the godfather of Greve in Chianti! Maybe it was the amount of wine now consumed but we were all a lot more\u00a0animated with our conversation and continued well into the evening.\r\n\r\n

\"The

The locals warming up to our presence in Greve.<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\nOur stay in Greve in Chianti was an unexpected surprise on our European adventure. A great local community and laid back atmosphere with great hospitality. Florence attracts many to experience various works of renaissance artists and architects. It would be wasteful though not to head a short way south to take in Greve in Chianti. But don't forget to head up\u00a0to Maurizio overlooking the town from the heights of his castle in Montefiorelle!\r\n\r\n
