Sightseeing

The Jerusalem of San Vivaldo
The Sacred Mount or Jerusalem of San Vivaldo is a place of great historical, artistic and cultural value. It includes a series of religious buildings including the Convent and the Church dedicated to San Vivaldo and some chapels, whose layout reproduces on a small scale the Palestine Jerusalem of the fifteenth century.

Civic Museum
Located within Palazzo Pretorio, the Civic Museum tells the history of this territory through archaeological, paleontological, mineral and fossil findings recovered in the surroundings of Montaione.

Church of St. Regolo
The Church of San Regolo - a remarkable example of Romanesque architecture in Tuscany dating back to the 13th or 14th centuries - overlooks Piazza della Repubblica in the heart of the historic center of Montaione.

Roman cistern
The Roman cistern is an ancient stone artifact dating back to Roman times (around III century AD) which was used as a water reservoire with a capacity of about 200.000 liters.

Castle of Vignale
The Castle of Vignale is located halfway down a hill that can only be reached on foot or by bicycle. Although today you can only admire the remains of this ancient castle it is easy to imagine the history of this place once disputed among the most noble Tuscan families.

Sanctuary of Pietrina
Situated on the peak of a rock from which you can admire the beautiful landscape that extends to the slopes of Volterra, the Sanctuary of Pietrina is a small church famous for a painting representing the "Madonna and Child".

Church of Saints Joseph and Lucia
This small church dedicated to Saints Joseph and Lucia is also called the "Sisters Church" because it is annexed to a former 16th century monastery.

Church of St. Floriano
Located in the village of Castelfalfi, the Church of St. Floriano, which is accessed through a staircase, is a remarkable example of Romanesque architecture in Tuscany.

Il Corniale's wines

Bianco Toscano

Producer: Il Corniale

Made with Trebbiano and Malvasia Bianca grapes, this fresh and fruity wine, with a moderate acidity is an undemanding product to drink every day, combining it with fish or white meat dishes.

Denomination of origin: Toscana Bianco Igt Biologico

Alcohol: 12% vol. - Grapes: Trebbiano 70%, Malvasia Bianca 30%

Crisoperla

Producer: Il Corniale

Nature is a complex balance of simple elements, just like this wine which, thanks to an aging of 6 months in cement tanks, resting on fermentation yeasts, has fruity and floral notes, and a softness balanced by a good acidity. A curiosity: the name "Chrysoperla carnea" is an insect predator of phytophagous harmful to the vine, therefore very useful in biological warfare.

Chianti Docg Biologico

Producer: Il Corniale

Il Corniale's Extravergine oil of Olive

Olio Extravergine di Oliva Biologico

Producer: Il Corniale

"Il Corniale" extra virgin olive oil comes from olives hand harvested exclusively by the Frantoio, Leccino and Moraiolo varieties.
Cold pressing allows to obtain an oil with very low acidity with an intense green color and very fragrant, with a slightly pungent taste. Turbidity is a characteristic that distinguishes its quality.
