The car
About this car in Florence
Five kilometres of cypresses run in a dead-straight line from San Guido to the village of Bolgheri, and at the end of them lies some of the most celebrated wine country in Italy. It is about 140 km from Florence, towards the sea, and the right way to arrive is with the roof down. A 296 GTS in Blu Race does it with a quieter elegance than red, and the deep blue looks particularly good against the dark green of the avenue.
The route mixes motorway with the coastal plain of the Etruscan Coast, so the hybrid powertrain earns its keep: electric running in villages, then 830 hp combined from the twin-turbo V6 when the road opens. Rear-wheel drive makes this a spring-to-autumn trip, and early evening is the best time, when the light comes in low through the cypresses. A medium suitcase and a small one fit in the boot, so a night among the Bolgheri estates is easy to add. Winter tyres are fitted in the cold season.
In Florence itself, keep the car out of the ZTL: the centre inside the viali is camera-controlled, and fines arrive weeks later. Hotels inside the zone can register the plate for their garage. Otherwise we hand over at a villa, Firenze Peretola, Pisa Galileo Galilei, which is handy for the coast, or Santa Maria Novella. Delivery is arranged when you book, with insurance included and 24/7 assistance.
