Among them are wine producing farms, inns, farms specializing in traditional production of foods and wines, wine bars, restaurants and other businesses and attractions. A total of 124 miles (200 km) of vineyards spread throughout 19 towns in the Tuscan countryside, La Strada brings together all of the wonderful products of Tuscany. La Strada is a magnificent region in Italy that covers 124 miles in the heart of Tuscany and includes 19 cities, such as Cortona, Arezzo, and Valdarno. Delicious and full-bodied wines are produced in this region, Vinsanto di Chianti, Chianti DOCG, and Cortona DOC among them.

"The Baracchi Estate is located on a beautiful slope just east of Cortona with a wonderful view of the Valdichiana Valley and Under the Tuscan Sun. A typical Tuscan villa which dates back to the 17th century, it is now completely restored and transformed into a countryside Relais. The old olive groves and the new vineyards surround the property. The grapes that liven up their wines are: Sangiovese, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet and Trebbiano. They are a tribute to the land of Cortona and to the pleasure of good wine, an invitation to taste the evolution of an ancient family tradition."
