Castello donato alla Abbadia di Coltibuono nel 1104; \u00e8 indicato come Castagno Aretino nel lodo di Poggibonsi del 1203 per le confinazioni tra Siena e Firenze; i Senesi lo assediarono invano durante la guerra aragonese del 1478-79.<\/p>\n
Oggi il castello ci appare come un poderoso blocco poligonale di pietra con vari spigoli arrotondati ed un pittoresco cortile al centro, al quale si accede per un ampio arco a sud ed uno strettissimo vicoletto a ovest.<\/p>\n","modified":"2018-03-28T12:52:40","color":"","icon":"","noDetails":false,"noInteraction":false,"taxonomy":{"webmapp_category":[11]},"accessibility":{"mobility":{"check":false,"description":""},"hearing":{"check":false,"description":""},"vision":{"check":false,"description":""},"cognitive":{"check":false,"description":""},"food":{"check":false,"description":""}},"locale":"it","source":"https:\/\/test.cyclando.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi\/1207","wp_edit":"http:\/\/test.cyclando.com\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=1207&action=edit","translations":{"en":{"id":10787,"name":"Castagnoli","web":"https:\/\/test.cyclando.com\/\/castagnoli\/?lang=en","source":"https:\/\/test.cyclando.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi\/10787","description":"
The village of Castagnoli dates back to the high Middle Age. A reliable documentation of 900 deals with
\nthe sale of a \u2018podere\u2019 called the Stielle, today one of the most famous vineyards of the Rocca di Castagnoli Company. In 1203, Castagnoli became part of the Florentine territory and entered in the League of the Chianti. They were turbulent years, full of conflicts and wars. During the Aragonese war of 1478-79, the Senese people tried heavily to subjugate the village of Castagnoli.<\/p>\n
The fortress resisted and subsequently, as a result of the fall of Siena, it entered to make part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. A period of peace began, in which illustrious families like those of the Piccolomini, the Tempi and the Ricasoli had the property of the villa and the surrounding farms, dedicating themselves with great energies, to the cure of the vines and the production of the wine. In 1700, under the guide of the Tempi family, the Company became one of the most celebrated farms of the area, as testified by the many compliments of the Grand Duchy Pietro Leopoldo who, in 1773, visiting the Chianti Region, praised the illuminated management, emphasizing the excellent state of the farms and the optimal living conditions of the peasants. In the last years many important jobs of restoration of the villa and the rocca have been made together with the introduction of modern criteria of working in the vineyards and in the wine cellars, and still nothing had changed in the deep tie that joins this land to the persons who inhabit it and cultivate it.<\/p>\n
Today the castle appears like an imposing polygonal bloc of stone, with various rounded angles and a small picturesque courtyard in its centre, to which you arrive through a wide arch from the south side, or a narrow path from west.<\/p>\n"}},"web":"https:\/\/test.cyclando.com\/poi\/castagnoli\/","addr:street":"","addr:housenumber":"","addr:postcode":"","addr:city":"","contact:phone":"","contact:email":"","opening_hours":"","capacity":""},"geometry":{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.45227812230587,43.44314572401345]}}
