Under our Tuscan sun
"... On our last full day in Tuscany we venture out to discover Volpaia, a tiny hamlet up in the hills behind Radda. After thinking we've taken the wrong turn we end up on the correct route -- yet another narrow, winding road to the village. Volpaia is like most towns in Tuscany, you will see your destination long before you reach it. Most towns are perched high on hills. This was done in order to protect them from rival neighbouring towns centuries ago.
Volpaia proves to be a most interesting stop. We enjoy a cappuccino in the small town square before venturing out to walk the narrow cobblestone streets. We pick up some locally made wine and vinegars before stopping for lunch at one of the two restaurants. Our view is again spectacular and the food equally good.

After a stroll through this beautiful medieval village a relaxing lunch on the terrace of the Osteria di Volpaia is in order. Our suggestion would be that you enjoy a frittata with a glass of Bianco di Volpaia. ..."

Farro salad brings home a taste of Tuscany
Radda Trattoria, which is reviewed in this week's food section, is named for Radda-in-Chianti, a tiny, perfect Italian hilltop town in Tuscany.
I know it's beautiful because I've been there.
A few years ago, to help celebrate one of my father's (many) landmark birthdays, I spent a week in the next town over from Radda, another equally stunning town called Volpaia.
The whole district is spectacular.
