From Pisa airport North or Florence
Exit car park direction Firenze (Florence) and continue on this duel carriage way for about 45 minutes. Take the A1 Highway Bologna/Roma direction Roma.
From Highway A1
Take Valdarno Exit. After leaving the toll-booth, turn right at the T junction, and continue to the roundabout. At the roundabout, bear right and continue over the bridge. You'll go under signs showing that you are leaving Terranuova Bracciolini, and entering Montevarchi. Follow the road round, it swings to the left and then to the right. Go straight over at the first roundabout (If you wanted to do a supermarket shop on the way, turn left at this roundabout and you'll be at the biggest supermarket in this area). At the next roundabout, turn left, 3rd exit signed to Arezzo, and continue through Montevarchi. After several sets of traffic lights, you'll see an overhead sign indicating a right turn to Mercatale Valdarno and Moncioni. Turn right here. After about 200 mt, you'll enter a square, which is one way. At the top, turn left and immediately right. There's a sign on the wall facing you to Strada del Vino Terre di Arezzo and Crossdromo. Follow parallel to the railway tracks for 2-300 mt. The road then splits at a bollard - take the right fork. Almost immediately, turn right under the railway bridge, and up to the next roundabout, where you go left to Moncioni and Mercatale V. The road follows beside the river, which you shortly cross, over a bridge, going to Monteluco TV. After you will come to Mercatale. After about another 500m, turn right to Nusenna and Siena, road no. SP16. This road soon becomes winding and steep. Continue through Nusenna up to the TV tower at Monteluco. Follow the road, bearing left towards Siena and Montefienali. After about 500 mt downhill, turn left, signposted San Vincenti and Montefienali! This is a white road, but quite a good one. Continue on this for 1-2km, and then take the right turn (signposted) to Montefienali.
Tip: keep in first gear for the down hill sections, it is a complete paved road - 100 mtr of steep tar slope at 25%.
