The perfect drive needs the perfect soundtrack. For me there is no more beautiful landscape on earth to drive through than Tuscany’s rolling hills. But the music choice is not so obvious… so I’ve enlisted the help of Nina Chiringuito to set the stage with our new playlist below. Nina grew up in a house filled with music — her father, Andy Cato, is one half of Groove Armada — and she understands instinctively the emotional push and pull of combining tracks in the right order. My instructions to her were simple… you’re in Florence for 3 days and you’ve borrowed a friend’s vintage FIAT to explore the Chianti region… create a playlist that surprises and moves just like the views through the windscreen. I think she’s nailed it.
