Castle Giacomo is one of the most requested castles in the Chianti area. The castle dates back to 1252, but it is supposed that it is much older. This castle is located in the Chianti Classico, in the heart of Tuscany, just 17 km from Florence, on the road to Siena through nine towns of the Chianti Classico.
This historic castle is surrounded by hills where the huge fresco blends the colors of the vineyards and the olive trees, the soft green of the meadows, pines, cypresses and woods. The many vineyards, dry-stone walls, flowers, and chapels in the country make a beautiful backdrop for your Tuscany wedding.
