Hobby Vineyards & Small Wineries

On the hills of Chianti, in the province of Florence, we find this small 4.8-hectare wine estate with Chianti Classico DOCG / Toscana IGT vineyards and a boutique accommodation business. The property is well established: the vineyards allow producing up to 10,000 bottles of wine per year, while the guests can rely on 7 bedrooms. A small olive grove (180 trees) allows producing roughly 500 liters of excellent extra-virgin DOP olive oil.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The farmhouse (339 m² – 3,648 ft², 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms) is a rural building, recently renovated, spread over two levels. On the ground floor, the central entrance divides the kitchen, a dining room, and a large lounge. The corridor leads to a service bathroom and the first bedroom with private bathroom. From the living room, there is access to a secondary room with a service bathroom. On the first floor is the sleeping area, composed of four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.

The old barn (214 m² – 2,303 ft², 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms) has been completely renovated and today hosts the tasting room for the company’s products with a service bathroom and a two-level residence. On the ground floor are two kitchens (one habitable, the other with access to the veranda) and a bedroom with a bathroom; the upper floor is entirely occupied by a beautiful suite with a private bathroom and walk-in closet.

Completing the property is a small wine cellar (42 m² – 452 ft²) with various sheds to shelter agricultural tools and equipment.

The estate covers approximately 4.0 hectares (9.9 ac) in total, in a rare balance between cultivation, nature, and private spaces. In the vineyard, the productive heart of the property, native and international varieties coexist, telling a dual personality: on one side the memory of Lunigiana, on the other a cultivated openness towards major European grape varieties.

In a scenic location on the island of Capraia, with views of the sea and the TuscanArchipelago, organic wine estate for sale. The property was established in the early 2000s when the then-owner undertook a skillful restoration of the land, which had long been maintained by the “inmates” of the island’s prison. The terraces were restored, and over the years, approximately 5.0 hectares of vineyards were planted.

It is important to note that the winery owns both its own land (approximately 5.5 ha) and leased plots (22.8 ha). The winery itself is housed in a building owned by the municipality, which has granted the company a 40-year lease (expiring in 2053).
