The photogenic cypress-lined approach to the abbey of Passignano.

Our verdict

The single most photographed approach road in Chianti, and it earns it — a straight cypress corridor leading to the abbey gates, better walked than driven so you can actually look up. Go in the low light of morning or early evening; midday flattens the whole effect.
