Synonymous
with red wine, Chianti is a must for any wine enthusiasts, with cuisine and
natural beauty up for offer. It is also an ideal base for holiday home owners
to explore the rest of the Chianti region, including the galleries in Florence.
Chianti also grows olives, which are one of
the country’s chief exports.
Economy
Between
exporting wine and olive oil, Chianti’s financial health is in good shape – but
growing visitor numbers from wine tourism and those looking to reside nearby to
locations, such as Florence, has helped to build both its social and financial
standing..
Insider Knowledge
“The people who buy in Tuscany are very different to those
in, say, Spain. It tends to be people who just want a retreat in the
countryside; not those who buy in a town centre or something next to a beach.
They don’t want a beach. They want to sit in the Tuscan sun
and enjoy a glass of Chianti or a red wine. Once again, the properties are
exceptional.”
