The "Leccione" is a secular tree and represents an iconic icon of Gaiole in Chianti. With the splendid panorama of Siena in the background, these two majestic holm oaks embrace each other, creating a perfect frame for a unique panorama.
The particularity of this centuries-old specimen absolutely deserves a souvenir photo! Don't miss it when you visit this wonderful location.

Centuries-old holm oak, from the space on which it stands you can enjoy a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside and vineyards. The holm oak also appears in a famous film.
