The car
About this car in Florence
Few roads suit a convertible better than the SR222 Chiantigiana, which leaves the southern edge of Florence and winds past Greve, Panzano and Castellina between vineyards and cypress hills. With the roof down, the naturally aspirated 5.2 V10 echoes off the stone walls of the villages, and quattro drive keeps 620 hp in check on bends that are often dusty or shaded.
It is about 40 km to Castellina, so the Chianti loop fits easily into a morning, with lunch in Panzano and a slow return through Greve. Spring and autumn are the ideal seasons, when the vineyards change colour and the roads are quieter. The 112-litre front boot holds two soft bags at most, so this is a car for a couple, and the 3.2-second sprint is best kept for motorway slip roads given the 90 km/h limit on country roads.
For a shorter outing at the end of the day, drive up to Fiesole for the sunset over Florence. The centre inside the viali is a ZTL, so the car waits at your hotel's registered garage or outside the zone. We hand it over at Firenze Peretola, Pisa Galileo Galilei or Santa Maria Novella, with insurance included and winter tyres in the cold season.
