• Chianti DOCG: Sangiovese 95%, Canaiolo 5%
• Chianti DOCG Riserva: Sangiovese 100%
• Toscana IGT Bianco: Trebbiano 30%, Chardonnay 15%, Pinot Grigio 15%, Traminer 15%

EXTERIOR

The estate in its entirety covers about 141.6 hectares (349.9 acres) in a hilly position. The most important crop is definitely the vineyard (40.1 ha) divided between Chianti DOCG and Toscana IGT (both red and white). This is followed by an olive grove (about 4.0 ha with a total of 1,200 trees already in full production) and large portions of arable land (45.5 ha) with excellent exposure that could easily be used for planting new vines and/or olive trees. The rest of the estate is covered by woods and uncultivated land.

Also within the property is an artificial pond (about 1.0 ha in size) that allows for easy irrigation of crops when needed.

In the heart of Tuscany, in a panoramic and reserved position but less than 2 km from a medieval town with all services, prestigious estate with historic villa, cellars, vineyard and olive grove. The property (about 2,129 m²) has several buildings, to be used partly for hospitality (5 suites and 12 bedrooms) and partly for the farm's agricultural production.

Important art cities of Tuscany such as San Gimignano, Volterra, and Siena can be reached by car in less than an hour. The beaches of the Tuscan coast can be reached in about an hour and twenty minutes, while golf lovers can find a major golf course 14 km away.

Due to its large size and enviable location, the property can be used as an accommodation business with 28 beds available. From 1997 to 2020, half-board group sports vacations with in-house catering (up to 35 guests) were organized in the property. Between 2021 and 2022, the historic villa was listed as a “Period Residence” in Tuscany.

Access is then guaranteed by a tree-lined gravel driveway (in excellent condition of maintenance).
