South of Panzano, the organic Fontodi wine estate owned by Giovanni Manetti produces famed Sangiovese wines. Tours, by appointment only, include a visit to the cellar and a tasting of several vintages. The family also owns an agriturismo, Teute di Pecille, with eight apartments in two traditional stone farmhouses.
Situated next to the castle in the upper part of town, this church was completely rebuilt in the 19th century. In the small chapel to the right of the nave is an Annunciation attributed to Michele di Ridolfo del Ghirlandaio (1503–77).
Ancient even by Chianti standards, this hilltop church probably dates from the 10th century, but it was completely rebuilt in the Romanesque style sometime in the 13th century. It has a 14th-century cloister worth seeing. The 16th-century terra-cotta tabernacles are attributed to Giovanni della Robbia, and there's also a remarkable triptych (attributed to the Master of Panzano) that was executed sometime in the mid-14th century. Open days and hours are unpredictable; check with the tourist office in Greve in Chianti for the latest information.
