Castelnuovo
Berardenga, at the southern border of the Chianti
Classico wine territory, is a pleasant enough place to visit. It has an
interesting old clock tower and a relaxing ambience. However, the
main reasons to visit Castelnuovo Berardenga lie more in the surrounding area,
particularly the Certosa of Pontignano, the
italianate gardens of Villa Chigi Saracini and Villa
di Geggiano, the English garden of Villa di Monaciano,
and villages such as San Gusmè.
