Chianti

In a panoramic position in the hills of Chianti Classico, not far from Greve in Chianti and Florence, 136.6 ha wine estate with Agriturismo for sale. The property (more than 2,300 sqm) consists of several buildings that include the wine cellar, six apartments and warehouses. 

Much of the estate is covered by woods (78.6 ha) and chestnut groves (7.2 ha). The currently unexploited portions (about 10.7 ha) could be used to increase wine and oil production.

The vineyard (19.7 ha) is mostly registered in Chianti Classico DOCG (16.7 ha) with a small portion in Toscana IGT (3.0 ha). About half of the production is bottled (approximately 20,000 bottles), while the rest of the product (187 hl) is sold in bulk. Yearly production could easily increase up to 1,000 hl (equivalent to 130,000 bottles). 

The olive grove (20.2 ha) also plays an important role on the farm: with its 4,000 trees of Frantoio, Leccino and Moraiolo varieties, it allows the production of about 5,000 kg of excellent Tuscan extravergint oil each year.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The hamlet consists of several buildings, all close together and with easy access, divided into various areas used for living quarters, warehouses and wine production rooms. The small hamlet dates back to the 18th century, the manor house was built in the early 20th century. The buildings used for agritourism have been renovated in recent times and are in good condition, while the sheds and agricultural stores are in need of renovation.

The old manor house (572 m² – 6,155 ft², 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms) houses the old cellars on the ground floor, including the business offices, the deconsecrated chapel and two apartments on the first floor:

• Apt. A (158 m² – 1,700 ft²): dining room with kitchen, living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms;
• Apt. B (52 m² – 559 ft²): living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom.

The Agriturismo (1,030 m² – 11,083 ft², 13 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms) is a large building, arranged mostly lengthwise, divided into five apartments (one of which, the largest, is inhabited by the owners) and various storage rooms on the ground floor.

The wine cellar (363 m² – 3,906 ft²) is a newly constructed building consisting of two large rooms that are used for the processing and transformation of grapes and storage of the finished product.

A storage room (100 m² – 1,076 ft²), a convenient vehicle shed (71 m² – 764 ft²) and a large warehouse (177 m² – 1,904 ft²) to be renovated complete the property.

On the hills between Arezzo and Siena we find this 45.7-hectare estate made up of a winery with 9.7 hectares of vineyards and a 19-bedroom relais with pool. The winery is well-established and allows producing up to 65,000 bottles of wine per year (which could be increased planting 13 more hectares of vineyards), while the accommodation business benefits from the excellent position inside Tuscany.

The garage (45 m² – 484 ft²) is currently used as a storage/storage area but all connections are in place for the construction of a small guest apartment.

EXTERIOR AND WINE PRODUCTION

The backbone of the estate is the Chianti Classico DOCG vineyard, which allows a production of about 10,000 bottles of wine per year (increasable to about 15,000 by taking advantage of the newly planted vineyard that is not yet in production).

Currently, the numerous buildings in the property are earmarked as residences for guest, who can take part in innumerous activities in the piece of land around.

EXTERIORS AND PRODUCTION DETAILS

The property is surrounded by 117.1 hectares (289.4 acres) of land, mainly covered in woodlands (84.6 ha). The remaining hectares are split among chestnut grove (2.0 ha), arable and grazing land (14.1 ha), a nice 1,000-tree olive grove (4.9 ha) and a nice vineyard (11.5 ha).

The land also includes a small lake, perfect for fishing. Several paths crisscross the property and are ideal for trekking and hitch-hiking lovers.

What’s more, the area is classified as a hunting reserve, usable all year long and with the possibility of hunting in the neighboring properties.

The vineyard, in particular, is the heart of the property given the production of the prestigious Chianti DOCG. First implants date back to the biennium 1972-1973 with Sangiovese and Malvasia (6.3 ha). In 1994 Sangiovese got an expansion, together with new Trebbiano and Canaiolo implants (6.2 ha). In 1997 more Sangiovese is added to the property (0.8 ha). In 2003 it’s time for Merlot, Syrah and Pinot Noir (2.4 ha).

USE AND POTENTIAL USES

The property, thanks to its ample size, is already being used as an accommodation business, with numerous beds available for the clients. The other backbones of the property are the winery with its 16.5 hectares of vineyard granting a high-quality production, among which we find IGT and DOCG wines (Chianti). Processed wine (ca. 500 hl a year) gets partially bottles (ca. 15,000 bottles) while the remaining quantity (ca. 390 hl) is sold as cask wine to other bottlers in the area. Right behind we must cite the production of nice Tuscan extra-virgin oil obtained thanks to the olive grove in the property (4 ha).

On the hills of Arezzo, in a private and panoramic position, wine estate for sale. The property includes several buildings (over 1,200 sqm) that include several guest apartments and the wine cellar, as well as warehouses, a farmhouse to be renovated and a small ruin.

EXTERIOR

The farm stretches for about 179.9 hectares (444.5 acres), covered for the most part by woods (140.8 ha) that surround the cultivated fields and guarantee the absence of contamination from nearby properties, ensuring full compliance with organic regulations (certification the farm has had since 1994). A small private pond allows irrigating the fields.

The backbone of the farm is the vineyard (about 18.0 ha). The main variety is Sangiovese (almost 70% of the total vines), but over the years the winery has recovered a now forgotten grape that was reinstated in 2017 in the list of native Tuscan grape varieties. A small Merlot vineyard (about 1.0 ha) is programmed for grafting with Sangiovese vines. Annual production is currently about 50,000 bottles of wine, taking into account, however, that part of the Sangiovese vineyard (about 3.0 ha) will not enter full production until 2025/2026.

• Chianti DOCG: 100% Sangiovese
• Toscana Rosso IGT: Sangiovese 50%, native variety 50%
• Toscana Rosso IGT: native variety 100%

The olive grove (1,600 trees of Moraiolo, Leccino and Frantoio varieties) allows the production of about 2,000 kg of excellent extra virgin olive oil per year.

The arable land (about 10.6 ha) is now largely covered by woods with timber plants (alders, hazelnuts and cherries). In any case, an assessment could be made of the material that could be obtained from any cutting, so as to understand whether it might be more profitable to clear the land to plant new vineyards.

The estate in its entirety covers about 48.6 hectares (120.1 acres) of land more than half of which is covered by forest (28.3 ha). Around the castle, the buildings can count on about 4,200 sqm of garden, which houses, on one of the terraces, the 18 x 9 m Infinity pool with panoramic views of the surrounding vineyards.

Agricultural activity focuses on the vineyards (12.1 ha), which are fully registered as Chianti Classico DOCG, and currently produce red wines, vinsanto and two types of grappa. 

The remaining part of the estate includes an olive grove (4.2 ha) and several patches of arable land (roughly 3.5 ha) which could be used to further expand the existing vineyards.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

Inside the castle (1,420 sqm – 15,279 sqft) are currently 8 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, kitchen, hall, dining room, multiple reception halls and the historical wine cellar that includes a Roman wall. By converting some of the service rooms one could easily create up to 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms to be used for accommodation. The complex also includes a guest wing with separate entrance, featuring a kitchen, living/dining rooms, three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The oldest written evidence of the castle dates back to the year 912 CE, but in the property some Etruscan finds and a Roman wall were found, proving that there was some sort of settlement in the area long before the Middle Ages. For centuries the castle had been contended by Siena and Florence in their long-lasting war until in the 1450s it ultimately passed into Florentine possession.

With the defeat of the Sienese Republic in 1559 the castle lost its military and strategic function and ended up in the hands of the powerful Florentine family Ricasoli who converted the complex into a private farm. The buildings were then progressively abandoned until in 1994 the new owners undertook a massive renovation of the complex.

The castle, located inside a medieval village, has been carefully restored with nice materials, respecting the traditional Tuscan materials and the original structures, but adding also services and up-to-date systems. Moreover, during the restoration, most of the vineyards were re-planted with new clones of Sangiovese. 

Internally, the property has exposed stone walls, brick arches, terracotta floorings, ceilings with chestnut beams and terracotta tiles, while externally it features stone and brick walls, thermally insulated window frames in chestnut with internal shutters in Tuscan style. It is equipped with the most up-to date electrical, plumbing and heating systems, and it has a security system. The bathrooms are particularly well-finished and well equipped.

The new wine cellar (1,000 sqm – 10,760 sqft) was built in 2001 and is a more modern building better suited to new winemaking techniques and processes. In the same building are the offices and an impressive tasting room. The wine cellar is equipped with modern stainless-steel machineries, barriques, tonneaux. Fermentation takes place in computer-controlled steel vats.

In Tuscany, on the hills of Chianti Classico, 135.6-hectare organic winery with hamlet, small Agriturismo, manorial villa, vineyards (33.3 ha) and olive grove (4.7 ha). Yearly production currently ranges around 75,000 bottles of wine (with a potential of up to 250,000).

On the hills of Chianti, not far from Castelnuovo Berardenga and Radda, 102.1-ha wine estate with manor villa and hamlet to be restored for sale. The property, which boasts an incredible history ranging from the Middle Ages to the present day, offers great potential for receptive tourist development to go hand in hand with wine production: in fact, the farm exploits 28.5 ha of vineyards to produce about 130,000 bottles of wine per year.

The renovation of the various buildings (over 4,500 sqm in total) would pave the way for the creation of a luxury boutique hotel in a very renowned area of Tuscany, less than an hour from Florence and Siena: the convenient location and beautiful spaces (both indoor and outdoor) would also allow the property to be exploited not only for seasonal rentals but also as a location for events, ceremonies, conferences and corporate conventions.

EXTERIOR

The winery spans approximately 102.1 hectares (252.3 acres) in total, lying on the rolling hills of Chianti. Pillars of the estate are undoubtedly the vineyard (28.5 ha divided into sixteen plots) and the olive grove (6.2 ha with plants of the Frantoio, Leccino and Moraiolo varieties). The company plans to plant an additional 3.8 ha of vineyards (with varieties to be defined) in addition to permits already obtained (expiring in 2025) for the planting of another 7.0 ha.

The remainder of the farm is then devoted to arable land (15.3 ha), woods (5.0 ha) and land pertaining to the buildings (1.6 ha) with gardens and maneuvering yards. A large private lake (about 10,000 sqm in surface) also insists on the arable land, which can be used to irrigate the fields and vineyards when needed.

The farm has been in organic conversion since 2021, with final certification scheduled for 2024.

On the Chianti hills, a short distance from San Casciano in Val di Pesa and Florence, 31.2-hectare estate with Chianti Classico DOCG vineyards (24.8 ha) and rural buildings. The property focuses on the production of grapes (up to 200 tons / year) which are then processed by a third party. By restoring the buildings (400 sqm) one could create private wine cellar to process grapes autonomously and produce up to 170,000 bottles of wine / year (1,275 hl).

DESCRIPTION OF THE ESTATE

The estate, in its entirety, covers an area of approximately 31.2 hectares (77.1 acres) in the rolling Chianti hills. The estate has been undergoing an organic conversion since August 2021 and the transition should conclude in August 2024.

The backbone of the estate is the Chianti Classico DOCG vineyard (24.8 ha) made up of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon vines planted between 1965 and 2007. The property does not have a wine cellar and therefore only harvests the grapes (up to 200 tons/year for Toscana IGT, up to 180 tons/year for Chianti Classico DOCG), which are then sold to an external company that takes care of the entire production process. By converting the agricultural buildings into a wine cellar, however, a production volume of around 170,000 bottles/year could be achieved.

The remaining area of the farm (approximately 6.4 ha) is made up of unused plots of land, roads and strips of woodland separating the various vineyard plots.

On the ChiantiClassico hills, a short distance from San Casciano in Val di Pesa and Florence, an 41.9-hectare estate with vineyards (24.8 ha), olive grove (6.1 ha) and manorialvilla. The property focuses on the production of grapes (with the possibility of creating a wine cellar in the buildings to be restored) and olive oil, but one could also focus on developing the estate for tourism and accommodation purposes by restoring the manorial villa and its annexes.

Core of the estate are without a doubt the vineyards, registered for the most part as Chianti DOCG (13.0567 ha) and the remaining part as Toscana IGT (2.0643 ha).

Part of the vineyards (roughly 3.5 ha) dates back to the early 1970s and these areas are characterized by missing vines and old plants that need to be totally replaced before being brought back to full production. It is also possible to obtain permits to build a new wine cellar in the property.

Lastly is the olive grove (3.5 hectares totaling over 350 trees) that produces an excellent Tuscan extra-virgin olive oil (Moraiolo and Frantoio varieties). With a good season, the estate can easily produce up to 1,500 kg of oil.

Two artificial lakes, the smaller of which is co-owned with the neighboring property, are regularly used to water the fields and could provide a useful tool to support the vineyards should the weather be too warm and damage the plants.

The property covers a total surface of 45.6 hectares (112.7 acres).

Wine production, backbone of the estate, can rely on approximately 16.0 hectares vineyards registered as Chianti Colli Fiorentini DOCG. Vines have been plated for the most part after 2012, with some older plants bating back as far as 2005. Most of the wooden stakes have been replaced in recent years.

Following up is the olive grove (1.5 ha) with 450 olive trees, with both centuries-old and young plants.

The remaining part of the estate is covered in arable land (23.2 ha) with cereals (wheat, broad bean, barley, oat...). Part of these fields could be easily planted with vines to further increase wine production. Finally, 4.7 hectares are covered in woodland and used to produce high-quality timber with alders, walnuts and cherries.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The main building (696 m² – 7,489 ft²) is laid out on two levels. It includes storage rooms, wine cellars, rooms for residential use, company cafeteria and office with half bath. Behind it, there are five silos, each with a capacity of  600 hectoliters, and two large horizontal wine presses.

The property also falls within the boundaries of a wildlife hunting reserve (detention of hunting rifles is limited by law to one gun each 10 ha of land).

The coppice section of the woodland (roughly 12.0 ha) is, as of now, rented out (with a logging right of 2.0 ha per year for 5 years) for a yearly income of € 7,000. The agricultural land (89.3 ha) is rented out as well for yearly income of € 7,000.

For irrigation of garden areas (and, in case of emergency, agricultural land), the property is fitted with rain-water basins.

Talking about agricultural land, it is also possible to convert these areas to vineyard, either in order to introduce a crop rotation with the other existing vineyards or to expand the already existing cultivation.

Not far from the two villas there is a small, and most importantly private, lake which is authorize for fishing (other than being a very important source of water in case of drought).

Backbone of the agricultural production in the estate is the vineyard (36.3788 hectares). Vines are registered as Chianti DOCG (16.3595 ha), Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG (3.5599 ha), San Gimignano Rosso DOC (2.1996 ha) and Toscana IGT (14.2598 ha) and would theoretically allow for the production of up to 464,000 bottles of wine per year.

USE AND POTENTIAL USES

The property, other than being easily reached, offers a breathtaking panoramic view over the Tuscan countryside and the medieval town of San Gimignano and it is ideal as an accommodatio business. The apartments (and the two villas in particular) ensure great privacy.

Complex N°6 is nowadays an agricultural farmstead, but its nice conditions would allow an extremely easy conversion into an additional accommodation town with little or none renovations necessary. This could provide an increment in the number of guests the structure could accommodate.

The estate covers, in its entirety, a total surface of approximately 20.8 hectares (51.4 acres), half of which is covered in vineyards. The remaining portions are registered as arable, grazing land and mixed woodland.

The vineyard (11.4546 ha) is attended with organic methods with a very low environmental impact. The farm only relies on green manure, treatments use only copper and sulfur and unwanted weed is removed by simply working the fields (instead of using glyphosate). Vines are cared by hand, with harvesting taking place between September 20 and October 10.

The wine produced is certified and cleared for bottling by Valoritalia that oversees production and guarantees the quality of the product. Once the authorization is received, the winery is equipped with machinery for bottling, labeling and packaging.

The buildings on the estate all date back to the period from the second half of the 19th to the early 20th century and have been restored in recent times with the idea of maintaining their original rural appearance wherever possible. The properties are in good condition, with only updates and minor refurbishment necessary. The driveway is adorned with cypress trees in the Tuscan manner.

Not far from the farmhouses, in a slightly elevated position, is the 15 × 7.5 m swimming pool surrounded by a paved sunbathing area and a garden with hedges. Across the road from the pool is then a carport.

Further away from the main hamlet, on the hills of the estate, there are then two poderi to be renovated. Podere A (360 m² – 3,874 ft²), located at the highest part of the estate, is just a ruin and only the foundations of the buildings are visible today. However, there are documents from several years ago that show the approximate appearance of the building, thus allowing for a fairly accurate reconstruction.

On the other hand, Podere B (550 m² – 5,918 ft²) is located in the valley, at the edge of the forest: the perimeter walls and some of the partitions of this building are still standing, which means that it is still possible to reconstruct the building in its original form.

EXTERIORS

The property spreads over a total of 102.7 hectares (253.8 acres), almost entirely inside a wildlife hunting reserve (over 95.0 ha). The woods surrounding the buildings provide great privacy and include a truffle ground where the prized white truffles of San Miniato can be found (the farm is also part of the local Truffle Consortium).

The IGT vineyard (4.5 ha) consists of Trebbiano, Malvasia, Sangiovese, Ancellotta and Ciliegiolo varieties. Grapes are partly converted into wine (8 tons red + 12 tons white, equaling roughly 27,000 bottles per year) and partly sold out to other wineries (12 tons). If all the grapes were processed in-house, the yearly production could be bumped up to 40,000 bottles.

The olive grove (about 480 trees spread over 1.1 ha of land), on the other hand, are exploited directly for the production of excellent extra virgin olive oil (up to 800 kg per year).

On the Chiantihills, about one hour from Florence, a 22.4-hectare estate with Agriturismo and organic vineyards. The property is in excellent condition, with elegant and well-designed finishes, and features eight apartments for the guests, who can also find a wellness center with spa, restaurant and hall for company events. The winery (currently not operational) used the 10.9 ha of vineyards (Chianti DOCG) to produce approximately 116,000 bottles of wine per year.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The farmhouse (600 m² – 6,456 ft², 9 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms) is a two-story building, the result of the reconstruction of a ruined rustic country house. The work has created a cozy holiday home divided into apartments, all characterized by high quality finishes such as travertine floors, large windows and LED lighting. The roof is made of wood for better energy efficiency. All the floors are connected by an elevator that also descends underground.

On the ground floor, the building opens with a reception area to welcome guests. From here one then has access to an apartment (living room, bedroom and bathroom) intended for the caretakers of the facility but which can also easily be used for guests. With independent access from the outside, one then has access to two more apartments (also consisting of a living room, bedroom and bathroom). From the entrance, a hallway houses the staircase leading to the upper floor and the basement level.

Going up to the first floor from the internal staircase, one reaches a central hallway that then gives access to four apartments (all composed of living room, bedroom and bathroom). On the eastern side of the farmhouse, an external staircase leads directly to the last apartment, which is totally independent and consists of a living area, two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Descending underground, the staircase (or elevator) leads to a large hall for events (255 m² – 2,744 ft², capable of accommodating up to 220 people at full capacity) and from here to the wellness center (100 m² – 1,076 ft²) with whirlwind tub, Turkish bath, sensory showers and massage area. Several storage rooms (220 m² – 2,367 ft²) with bathrooms for the staff complete the underground portion of the complex.

Opposite the farmhouse is the property’s restaurant (80 m² – 861 ft²), which consists of a large hall with a full-wall window opening onto the valley, service bathrooms and a large professional kitchen. A staircase then descends underground to the event area.

Also next to the farmhouse is the owners’ house (95 m² – 1,022 ft², 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms), laid over one level. The entrance door opens onto a spacious and bright living room with dining area and open kitchen. A hallway then leads to the sleeping area with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The wine cellar (405 m² – 4,358 ft²), built underground in 2009 and also accessible via a ramp leading down from the entrance gate of the property, consists of large rooms for wine making, ageing and bottling of wines. The equipment in the cellar includes vitrified cement and stainless steel tanks, digital temperature control, oak barrels, barriques, terracotta jars and a bottling/packaging line.

Amidst the vineyards are two sheds (35 m² – 376 ft²) and a depot (70 m² – 753 ft²) that can be used to shelter tools and vehicles used in the fields.

On the hills between Pisa and Florence, not far from the town of San Miniato, 201-hectare wine estate. The property is developed around an elegant 16th-century manor house with various service houses and a large wine cellar (over 1,200 sqm). Scattered around the estate are also four rustic farmhouses in need of renovation.

The agricultural activity includes Chianti DOCG and IGT vineyards (19.9 ha) and a large olive grove (3,000 trees) that produce 197,000 bottles of wine and 3,200 kg of oil per year, respectively.

EXTERIORS AND DETAILS ON PRODUCTION

The farm, located in the hills between Florence and Pisa, covers a total surface area of 201.2 hectares (497.2 acres). Large portions of the farm are covered with arable land (90.7 ha partially uncultivated), in the past planted with durum wheat, soft wheat and rape (with excellent results): these areas could easily be repurposed into new vineyards.

Alongside the arable land, pasture land (20.5 ha) is currently cultivated with alfalfa (there is a free loan contract that can be terminated with 4 months' notice). A private lake provides water for irrigation.

Next, in order of size, we find woodland (60.1 ha) with tall trees of valuable species, including holm oaks and downy oaks: these trees are typical of the area and favor the presence of both white and black truffles.

The upper part of the estate, where the villa is located, is subject to a hunting ban, which ensures peace and quiet even during the hunting season.

The backbone of the estate is undoubtedly the vineyards (19.94 ha), registered as Chianti DOCG and Toscana IGT, which allows the production of up to 197,000 bottles of wine per year. Currently the company sells grapes to third parties who then take care of winemaking but, when operational, the winery used to produce the following wines:

• Chianti DOCG: Sangiovese 90%, Canaiolo 10% (160,000 bottles)
• Toscana Rosso IGT: Merlot 100% (10,000 bottles)
• Toscana Rosso IGT: Sangiovese 100% (5,000 bottles)
• Toscana Bianco IGT: Trebbiano, Chardonnay (8,000 bottles)
• Toscana Bianco IGT: Vermentino 100% (5,000 bottles)
• Toscana Rosé IGT: Sangiovese 100% (2,000 bottles)
• Vinsanto del Chianti DOC: Trebbiano, Malvasia (7,000 bottles)

Last but not least, the estate also features an ample olive grove (10.0 ha totaling 3,000 trees) that allows producing excellent extra-virgin olive oil (which is then filtered directly at the property).

This estate with a 17th-century manorial villa is set just a few km from Florence. The estate is made up of many historic buildings (over 7,800 m² in total). As for the farming business, the estate covers a total of 231.5 hectares and include a Chianti Montalbano DOCG vineyard (2.5 ha) and an ample olive grove (7,000 trees) that allow producing up to 11,600 bottles of wine and 2.0 tons of olive oil per year.

The estate currently produces the following wines:

• Chianti Montalbano DOCG Riserva: 80% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo, 10% Malvasia Nera
• Chianti Montalbano DOCG: 90% Sangiovese, 10% Colorino
• Rosso Toscano IGT: 45% Merlot, 45% Syrah, 10% Sangiovese

Most of the estate is covered in woodland (179.5 hectares), mainly high trees and conifers. A part of the woods (roughly 1.5 ha) is planted with trees that are then cut and transformed into prime-quality timber (prevalently walnut, wild cherry, Italian Alder and pears).

Arable land (10.5 ha) are very suitable for planting further vines or new types of crops that would help improving the income generated by the estate. The remaining land (approximately 1.0 ha) is covered in gardens, courtyards and streets servicing the buildings.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The manorial villa with its annexes (oratory, stable, lemon-house, servants’ quarters, escritoire, billiard room, greenhouse, laundry, ironing room, henhouse, firewood shelter, chapel…), dating back to the beginning of the 17th century for a total of 2,660 m² (28,622 ft²), makes up the heart of the property. Separated by an Italian garden, we find a small park and a fruit orchard.

A short distance from the villa, the hamlet dating back to the 1000 AD includes an old residence (900 m² – 9,684 ft²), already recovered and with ongoing restoration works, where we find the offices of the business, the reception for the Agriturismo, an apartment (or wine-tasting room) and a barriques room in the basement.

Next to this building, on the western side, is a typical medieval building (1,086 m² – 11,685 ft²) recognizable by its crenellation. The building is laid out onto three floors and houses the wine cellar.

On the eastern side is a 20th-century two-story agricultural building (600 m² – 6,456 ft²) that houses the olive mill, a canteen for the staff and a garage/workshop.

Additionally, the property includes six farms, all dating back to the 16th and 19th century:

• Farm N°1 (526 m² – 5,660 ft²) is made up of simple and well-made buildings. These buildings have been partially restore over the last few years.
• Farm N°2 (342 m² – 3,680 ft²) is made up of residential buildings with annexes: half of these buildings have already been restored.
• Farm N°3 (330 m² – 3,551 ft²) is a farmhouse split into three guest apartments with garden and pool.
• Farm N°4 (898 m² – 9,662 ft²) is made up of a few buildings used as shelters for animals and tools.
• Farm N°5 (488 m² – 5,251 ft²), currently unused but in a very panoramic location, was once the rural house for the shephers of the estate.
• Farm N°6 is located a bit father from the property, at the bottom of a valley since it was once a mill, and is currently a ruined building.

In Tuscany, on the hills of Chianti Fiorentino, just a few km from Montespertoli, 54.0-ha organic estate with Chianti DOCG vineyards (19.7 ha), wine cellar and rustic farmhouse to be restored. Excellent opportunity for those looking for an established winery with potential for developing an accommodation business.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The business center is laid over two levels. On the lower floor is the winemaking cellar (410 sqm – 4,412 sqft) with a capacity of approximately 2,000 hl (cement and fibreglass vats), while the upper floor houses all the administrative offices, various warehouses and the bottling line (400 sqm – 4,304 sqft). The building also includes two rooms to be renovated (120 sqm – 1,291 sqft) where the ageing barrels were once located.

An old farmhouse (220 sqm – 2,367 sqft) on two floors then houses the old coppaia and two apartments on the upper level (70 sqm and 40 sqm respectively). The building is in need of renovation and restoration in order to be used.

EXTERIORS AND PRODUCTION

The estate covers a total surface of 54.0 hectares (133.4 acres), split among vineyards (19.7 ha), olive grove (7.0 ha) and Mediterranean woodland (27.4 ha). All the operations are carried out with rigorous organic methods, certified by the EU.

The 19.6 hectares of vineyard (set at an altitude ranging from 150 m and 250 m asl) are almost entirely registered as Chianti DOCG (19.2 ha) and ensure an average yield of 8.5 tons of grapes per hectare. Yearly production is around 100,000 bottles of wine but this could be further increased by buying the neighboring vineyards which would boost production up to 120,000 bottles per year.

The huge olive grove (7.0 ha) features over 1,000 trees of Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo and Pendolino varieties and is located in a spot that would allow obtaining the denomination DOP Colli Fiorentini for the oil. Yearly production, accounting for the high variability due to environmental factors, ranges around 7.4 tons of extra-virgin olive oil.

On the hills between Chianti and Valdarno, not far from Montevarchi and Florence, 25.5 hectare estate with vineyard and Agritourism. The buildings (840 sqm in total, 6 rooms) include the main farmhouse, an annexe with wine cellar and some farm outbuildings with a project to create a farm centre and two areas for glamping and agricamping. The vineyard (6.5 ha) can produce about 50,000 bottles of wine per year.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The main country house (300 sqm – 3,228 sqft, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms) is laid over four floors in total. In the basement is a convenient garage and the technical room for the building systems. The ground floor opens onto the entrance hall with a fireplace, which is connected to a large living room that in turn leads to the kitchen and dining room. From the entrance hall one then has access to the first bedroom with private bathroom.

The internal staircase then leads up to a mezzanine living room, lit by three large windows. Continuing along the staircase, one reaches the first floor: the hallway leads to two bedrooms with shared bathroom and to the large living room with fireplace. This large room, with direct access from outside, has a kitchen with dining area and is connected to the last bedroom with bathroom.

The building has been renovated in Tuscan style, maintaining the original stone walls, wooden beams and terracotta floors. The building is also equipped with a traditional ventilation system. The building is serviced by a heat pump, while power is provided by a 20-kW photovoltaic system installed on the roof of the cellar. To ensure the safety of guests, the property also has an alarm and video-surveillance system.

The guesthouse (196 sqm – 2,109 sqft, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) is located not far from the farmhouse and is laid over two floors: in the basement is a large room for processing and storing products, while the ground floor houses the administrative office and two mini-apartments for guests, each consisting of a living area with kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom.

Four rural outbuildings (344 sqm – 3,701 sqft) complete the property and are used as shelters for vehicles and agricultural tools. There is a project (in the process of being approved) for the demolition of the four buildings: this would allow a new building to be rebuilt (with an increase of approximately 35%, therefore 465 sqm – 5,003 sqft) for the redevelopment of the property and the improvement of the farm's production potential.

In the countryside of Florence, in Tuscany, we find this 662-m² villa with 10.0 hectares of land. The property features 11 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms and is currently working as an Agriturismo. The building has been restored and boasts all the typical features of countryside buildings. Outside, the property boasts an IGT vineyard (9,000 m²), an olive grove (230 trees) and a 12 × 6 m swimming pool with solarium.
