About Castellina in Chianti
Castellina in Chianti is one of the oldest fortified settlements in the Chianti hills, its medieval core still anchored by a 14th-century rocca and the underground passage that once linked it to the countryside. History here is lived rather than exhibited: you can spend a morning hunting truffles and tasting wine at a family estate on the Castellina in Chianti: Truffle Hunt, Wine Tasting & Lunch at a Family Estate, or sit down to an Authentic Dining Experience at a Local's Home and hear the town's stories from the people who keep them.

Frequently asked questions
Castellina is a small, still-inhabited medieval town rather than a museum piece. Its rocca, walls and old Via delle Volte sit among working vineyards, so history and culture experiences here tend to be led by locals — truffle hunters, winemaking families, home cooks — who connect the town's past to the food and wine still produced around it.
