Today Greve is the town with which the grape-growing region of Chianti is often associated.
In bygone times it was the meeting point of of three important roads used by pilgrims, the Chiantigiana (which linked Florence with Siena), the road to Valdarno and the road to Val di Pesa.
The Castle of Montefioralle is perched above the town – looking much as it did when pilgrims traveled by foot and donkey.
Today, Greve is dotted with restaurants and within easy reach of many vineyards.
