The June Chianti vine leaf emergence whose specific young-leaf color (the chartreuse-to-emerald progression) is the most specifically beautiful single Chianti landscape month). And the Positano (the May-June sea temperature (21-23°C, swimmable) and the pre-peak accommodation pricing (25-35% below the July-August rate)).
