Montecucco DOC

On the hills between Val d’Orcia and Maremma, in a very panoramic and private location, wine estate for sale. The estate covers, in its entirety, a total surface of 155.2 hectares (383.5 acres) on the hills of Montalcino and Maremma.

Backbone of the estate are the vineyards (14.4 ha in Montalcino + 26.1 ha in Maremma): these are registered as Brunello di Montalcino DOCG (8.8305 ha), Rosso di Montalcino DOC (2.7800 ha), Sant’Antimo DOC, Maremma DOC and Montecucco DOC. The estate’s production reaches 275,000 bottles per year, with a particular focus of Brunello di Montalcino DOCG (90,000 bottles) and Rosso di Montalcino (35,000 bottles). The remaining 150,000 bottles are made up Toscana IGT, Maremma DOC, Sant’Antimo DOC and Monteccucco DOC. The quality of the wines is ensured by a draining soil (medium texture rich in clay and sand) that naturally limits the actual yields of the vines. 

The olive grove (8.8 ha) is made up of Olivastra, Frantoio, Moraiolo, Leccino and Pendolino and allows for the production of an excellent extra-virgin oil. Olivastra trees are centuries-old, while the other three cultivars come from younger trees. 

Notable expanses of arable land (47.5 ha) have been bought in the areas of Montalcino and Maremma and could be used to further expand the existing vineyards, leading to an increase in production. The remaining surface of the property is covered in woodland (58.2 ha).

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The farm has buildings in the municipalities of Montalcino and Campagnatico, in Maremma. The building in Montalcino, a large complex constructed around an existing farmhouse, includes the production premises and four independent housing units that could easily be used to start a hospitality business in an area with great potential. In Maremma, the winery has only one cellar for processing grapes.

In total, the two cellars have an area of about 6,000 m² and allow the processing of about 400 tons of grapes per year. Equipment includes steel vats (total capacity of 17,455 hl), wooden barrels (4,016 hl), bottling machines, labeling machines, pumps, presses, and vehicles.

On the hills of Maremma, at the foot of Mount Amiata and about 40 km from the sea, organic wine estate for sale. The farm was started from scratch in 2000 from abandoned and non-productive land: over the years all the vines have been planted and the profitability of the business has been improved.

The estate spreads over a total of 26.0 hectares (64.2 acres) lying on the hills of Maremma. The mainstay of the estate is the vineyard (8.5 ha) registered to Montecucco DOCG (8.3 ha) and Maremma Toscana DOC Ansonica (0.2 ha).

The winery currently produces the following wines:

• Montecucco Sangiovese DOCG: Sangiovese 100%
• Montecucco Sangiovese DOCG Riserva: Sangiovese 100%
• Maremma Toscana Bianco DOC: Ansonica 100%
• Toscana Rosso IGT: Cabernet Sauvignon 100%
• Toscana Rosso IGT: Merlot 100%

The remaining farm area, however, is devoted to arable land (5.3 ha), grazing land (8.0 ha) and woodland (4.1 ha). Part of the tree-free areas are very suitable for planting new vineyards (about 5.0 ha), while the other areas have steep slopes that lend themselves well to olive and/or fruit trees instead.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS, STATE AND FINISHES

The wine cellar (770 m² – 8,285 ft²) is a modern building on three floors, equipped with all the equipment for winemaking and storage of the finished product. On the highest level is a large collection terrace for the grapes, which then reach by fall the room below where the tanks and vats for the actual production of wine are located. Further below are the aging rooms, bottling line, warehouse for the finished product and a bathroom for employees, as well as a technical room for equipment.

A short distance from the winery, on the other hand, is a commercial space (140 m² – 1,506 ft²) where there is a retail space, a large tasting room with a pergola and bathrooms for customers on the ground floor. Going up to the second floor, on the other hand, one reaches the administrative office with attached bathroom and warehouse for products.
