Pontassieve

Few towns in Tuscany have a history as closely tied to the meeting of the Arno and Sieve rivers as Pontassieve. The town lies east of Florence where the Sieve joins the Arno, a position that long made it a natural crossing and route towards the Mugello and the Apennines. Its name, literally meaning “bridge on the Sieve,” preserves that connection, while the bridge remains a defining feature of the historic centre. Pontassieve is also associated with the Chianti Rufina wine area, whose vineyards cover hills above the river valleys and produce one of Tuscany’s historic DOCG wines.
