Montalcino

The estate covers, in its entirety, about 5.0 ha (12.5 ac) of land. Almost all of the estate is covered by vineyards (4.0 ha), while the remaining area is divided between the garden (5,700 m²) and small portions of arable land on the edge of the fields. Inside the garden, on the north side of the property, is the panoramic 15 × 8 m Infinity pool overlooking the rolling hills of the Val d'Orcia.

The farmhouse is surrounded by a 5,700 m² garden with an Infinity-edge 15 × 8 m panoramic swimming pool overlooking the rolling hills of Val d’Orcia.

The vineyards, specifically, are registered as Brunello di Montalcino DOCG (2.9500 ha), Rosso di Montalcino DOC (0.9500 ha) and Toscana IGT (0.1163 ha).

The estate currently produces the following wines:

• Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva: 1,500 bottles (Sangiovese 100%)
• Brunello di Montalcino DOCG: 14,000 bottles (Sangiovese 100%)
• Rosso di Montalcino DOC: 7,000 bottles (Sangiovese 100%)

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS, STATE AND FINISHES

The wine cellar (560 m² – 6,025 ft²) is organized into two separate areas. The first one is located inside the main farmhouse dating back to the 14th century and includes the winemaking areas and the barrique rooms for ageing. The second section is built underground, with its own access from the lower terrace of the property and includes a storage area for the finished products and the bottling line with bathroom and changing room for the staff.

Leaned against the wine cellar, on the western side of the building, is a convenient shed (78 m² – 839 ft²) that is currently used to shelter vehicles and tools.

The owner’s house (332 m² – 3,572 ft², 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) covers two floors and is located again inside the old farmhouse, right next to the cellar and connected directly to it. On the lower floor are the entrance room (shared with the cellar), a spacious living room with fireplace, the dining area with open-plan kitchen and bedroom with its own bathroom (also accessible independently from outside). The staircase in the entrance leads to the upper floor, where one can find a spacious sitting room, four bedrooms and three bathrooms.

In front of the main building is a guesthouse (146 m² – 1,571 ft², 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) that could be rented out either as a single unit or divided into two smaller apartments:

• Apt. N°1 (70 m²): living room with open-plan kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom;
• Apt. N°2 (25 m²): studio apartment with cooking corner and bathroom.

Next to the apartments is a small storage (35 m² – 377 ft²), plus an additional bathroom outside that could be used by both the staff of the winery and the guests in the pool.

The property is then completed by several technical rooms (100 m² – 1,076 ft² in total) that include the water management system, boiler area and storages for tools and equipment.

In the Sienese countryside, not far from the renowned town of Montalcino, this wine estate covers a total surface of 51.9 hectares. In total, roughly 5.0 hectares of vineyards (3.0 ha Brunello di Montalcino DOCG + 1.5 ha Sant’Antimo IGT + 0.5 ha Rosso di Montalcino DOC) and two cellars allow producing a theoretical maximum of 38,500 bottles of wine per year. Finally, 1,200 olive trees produce approximately 1.5 tons of extra-virgin olive oil.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The historic building (580 m² – 6,241 ft²) includes on the ground floor the wine cellar, while on the upper floor are two guest apartments (with the possibility of creating a third one by reworking the existing spaces):

• Apartment N°1: ample living room with fireplace, kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom with whirlwind tub;
• Apartment N°2: living room with cooking corner and double sofa-bed, bathroom with whirlwind tub.

The podere is then completed by a few agricultural annexes (130 m² – 1,399 ft²) and a newly-built cellar (140 m² – 1,506 ft²) with development possibilities (390 m² – 4,196 ft²). The buildings all have electricity, LPG tank, air conditioning and water from a private well (100 m depth) with a filtration system. A connection to the mains water (200 m from the property) is also available if interested.

The other podere includes a residential building (400 m² – 4,304 ft²) and a few annexes. The country house is provided with electricity, water and phone line but requires a complete renovation.

EXTERIORS

The estate, split between two poderi, covers a total surface of 51.9 hectares (128.2 acres).

Here we find 5.0 hectares of vineyards, registered as Brunello di Montalcino DOCG (3.0 ha), Sant’Antimo IGT (1.5 ha) and Rosso di Montalcino DOC (0.5 ha).

An olive grove (2.4 ha) with roughly 1,200 olive trees allows producing up to 1.5 tons of extra-virgin olive oil per year (1,630 liters).

The remaining surface is split among woodland (17.1 ha) and arable land (26.2 ha). The ample surfaces available could be exploited to plant new vines once planting rights have been obtained (roughly 26.0 hectares of land can be easily used for this). Planting rights have already been obtained for approximately 2.0 ha of Sant’Antimo IGT.
