Greve in Chianti Evening

Greve's triangular piazza is ringed by porticos, wine shops, and local butchers. This is the unofficial capital of Chianti Classico. The Saturday morning market is famous, but the evening is when the town belongs to locals. Walk under the arcades, taste at the enotecas, and find your dinner spot for a proper Tuscan meal.

The unique triangular layout is ringed with porticos from the 1400s.

Park outside the centro (free lots near the cemetery or €1.50/hr in town). Walk through the arch into Piazza Matteotti. Do a full loop under the porticos—the triangle shape is unique in Tuscany. Notice the statue of explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano (born nearby, discovered New York Harbor).

🍷 Log Memory
140+ wines from 26 producers on self-serve Enomatic machines.

Find Le Cantine di Greve on the piazza (look for the wine barrel entrance). Buy a card (€20-50 credit), then sample any of the 140+ wines in their Enomatic machines. Start with lesser-known producers before moving to famous names. The staff can guide you through the Chianti Classico sub-zones.

🍷 Log Memory
Macelleria Falorni has been curing meat here for almost 300 years.

Find Antica Macelleria Falorni on the piazza. Walk into the back room—the aging room with whole prosciutti hanging is impressive. Buy some finocchiona (fennel salami, a Tuscan specialty) to snack on during tomorrow's drive. They vacuum-seal for travel.
