An interesting route in the northern area of the characteristic medieval village of San Donato in Poggio.

The itinerary turns through woods and vineyards towards the Pesa river, beginning in the eastern part of the village.

From the crossroads on the provincial road, we take the asphalted Montecchio road, which shortly after becomes a white road.

We follow the road through vast vineyards to the crossroads with cypress trees and a tabernacle where we turn left, still following the Montecchio road.

We skirt the buildings of the Montecchio kiln and follow the unpaved road down into the woods. The path skirts an olive grove on the right.

We cross a clearing with a ruin and continue downhill into the grove, reaching another clearing with another ruin.

Points of interest

This route is partly a stretch of the Via Romea Sanese of Chianti, which connects Florence to Siena.
