Rufina, Italy (population 6,693) has it's own designation as a sub-zone of the Chianti wine region of Tuscany.  Not to be confused with the large producer, Ruffino, Chianti Rufina is a very pleasant wine that we managed to develop a strong affinity for.      
Just to the east of il centro was this bridge decorated with pots of bright flowers.  Welcome to Italy!    
  A trip into Rufina wasn't complete unless we stopped for a Gelato.  This was the selection at "Il Galleto Gelateria."      
   

 

A back street in Rufina.

A street near the train station, looking towards Castello Montebonello

Closing down for "il riposo."

Rufina is conveniently located on the railroad line into Firenze.

It made for an easy commute into the city without having to worry about driving or parking concerns.

         
       
 

Just a couple of commuters waiting for the 8:10.
