The postcard did not lie: cypress avenues, stone farmhouses and hills striped with vines between Florence and Siena. Base yourselves at an agriturismo near Greve or Radda, where tastings end with the winemaker opening something unlabelled. September, during the harvest, is the dream — but May gives you the same views with empty roads. Skip the big commercial cellars and phone ahead to small family estates instead.
