By 1215 it had become a centre of commerce in the surrounding valley, with a market square.
In 1300 it became part of the constitution of the Chianti League, with Gaiole becoming a small capital, together with Castellina and Radda.
Forbes believes that Gaiole would be an exceptional place to live, saying “it is now a sleepy and picturesque municipality.
It holds an annual wine festival in September and has an average temperature of 68º F (20º C).
