HISTORY OF THE VILLA

The villa is named after the Russian prince Alexander Zoubaloff, who commissioned the building in the early 20th century. The Russian nobleman, who arrived in Florence in the late 19th century, had a villa built to exhibit his impressive collection of art pieces, most of them masterful copies of historical masterworks (including a life-size reproduction of the Baptistery doors by Ghiberti). After purchasing several plots of land between 1902 and 1906, Zoubaloff initiated the construction in 1907. Only a few years later, heavily indebted and with the villa almost completed, the prince was forced to put his properties up for sale and in 1917 the entire collection was auctioned off.

Upon his death in 1919, the villa passed first to his heirs and the following year to Leonzio Sartori and Ernesto Alessandri. In 1927, the Morroni family took possession of the property and made various changes that are still visible today.

During the war, the villa, together with the nearby Torre del Gallo, was requisitioned by the Italian-German forces and converted into a prison: part of the interior partitions and the tiled floors on the ground floor date back to this period.

The building then passed to a company in the 1960s: a renovation project was initiated in 1985 and concluded in 1991 with the splitting up of the villa and the sale of the various apartments to private individuals.

Situated in a hilly position between the Valdichiana and Valdambra, in a landscape of great value and with excellent exposure, estate of 15.5 ha with rustic farmhouse and Chianti DOCG vineyard. The property is currently in use as an Agriturismo (17 beds) for weekly stays of families or groups of friends who can count on a fenced park with a 12 × 6 m swimming pool.

The property represents an interesting opportunity for those who wish to combine a stay in a residence immersed in the heart of Tuscany with a passion for viticulture. For the buyer, it is possible to make use of wineries in the area for grape processing; however, the extent of the vineyard and the quality of the production also suggest the creation of an in-house wine cellar.

EXTERIOR

The crown jewel of the property is the scenic 12.1-hectare vineyard, which is in full production and at the beginning of the regime phase of the multi-year cycle.

Plantings were made between 2018 (6.00 ha) and 2022 (6.14 ha), according to the criteria of modern quality viticulture for obtaining fine wines.

The vineyard is located at an altitude of about 500 m above sea level. The soil has ideal texture for vines with abundant skeleton that ensures excellent drainage during rainy periods. The right amount of clay allows for capillary retention of water reserves, which the roots can draw on in dry periods. The excellent exposure, spring and summer breezes and low humidity, ultimately the optimal pedoclimatic characteristics, allow constant production of excellent quality.

The ampelographic base is broad and includes the varieties Sangiovese, Canaiolo Nero, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Alicante Bouschet, Cabernet Franc and Rebo.

The planting layout is 0.80 × 2.50 m, with a density of 5,000 vines per hectare to ensure a low production load per vine.

The entire vineyard area falls under the two appellations Chianti DOCG and Valdarno di Sopra DOC. The latter is a relatively recent appellation to which important wineries in the area have adhered, distinguishing themselves by choosing the organic method in the cultivation of vines.
