One of the longest cyclo-tourist events returns on June 2, the Day of the Republic, to celebrate the bicycle in Castelnuovo Berardenga by pedaling through the splendid scenery of Sienese and Florentine Chianti.

There are trails for every taste and everyone’s legs. This part of Tuscany is made up of ups and downs, along the hills and valleys of Chianti. You will encounter towns and villages full of color and the scents of flowers and earth while you cycle along the rows of young grapes.
