Along the Cassia regional road from Florence to Siena, among vines, olives and the typical cypresses also sung by the great poet Carducci; past the village of Poggibonsi, ten km before Siena, the splendid 13th century castle of Monteriggioni appears on a hill. Inside the walls of the Monteriggioni fortification where for 50 years there was the Il Pozzo restaurant, closed in 2018, there is now the restaurant Le Torri. The typical Tuscan setting has been updated making it a little more elegant. The cuisine is typically Tuscan presented in a more modern way than the previous management. After a snack offered by the kitchen, spelled salad with cherry tomatoes and cucumbers, I ate an excellent Tuscan Ribollita served warm, followed by a steak with a side of white beans al flask.
