You should be fine, especially at this time of year when it's dry a lot of the time.
The quality of the white roads is variable but, generally, good enough for a road bike with standard 25 mm tyres to cope with them. One thing to watch, they can be very steep so keep an eye out for elevation changes on the maps.

am going to Italy on monday and staying in castellina in chianti.
I'm taking the road bike and have been planning some routes. Any small roads look like this:
For the most part I will stick to bigger, tarmac road however sometimes it would be nice to cut 5-10 miles off a route going via some of these smaller gravel roads for a mile or two. Do you think I'd be ok on 25mm continental all seasons?
