Here the frenetic rhythms of modern life really do leave space to peace and tranquility of a farmhouse in the countryside, where guests can experience the old traditions of Chianti, still unaltered over time, where the relation between man and the earth is still so strong as to be considered a bond not dissimilar from that between family relations.
