Maremma

In the heart of the Maremma DOC region, a few kilometers from Scansano in the Tuscan Coast wine area, between the valleys of the Ombrone and the Albenga rivers, in one of the areas most devoted to the production of the Morellino di Scansano, this wine estate with cellar, farmhouse, and guesthouse is for sale.

The heart of the property is the winery (315 m² – 3,389 ft²), which includes all the production rooms, aging, and bottling. Next to the cellar is then the sales room (63 m² – 678 ft²). The cellar, perfectly equipped, includes 17 stainless steel tins (with capacity from 20 to 50 hectolitres) with remote temperature control for a total of 460 hectolitres of wine and 8 stainless steel tins for a total of 200 hectolitres of wine. The warehouse and the barricaia are equipped with a modern air conditioning system. The buildings could be further expanded by about 100 m². 

Next to the winery is a large stone and masonry building that houses the owners’ home on the upper floor (101 m² – 1,087 ft²), while on the ground floor are large rooms in builder’s finish to be used as an Agriturismo (305 m² – 3,282 ft²).

Finally, we find a guesthouse (84 m² – 904 ft²) that was intended as a dwelling for the farm janitor or employees of the facility.

The property spans in its entirety 56.8 hectares (140.3 acres) and includes 12.0 hectares of specialized vineyard (6,250 plants per hectare) with selected IGT vines (with the possibility of registering them as Maremma DOC). The remaining land includes an olive grove (2.2 ha with 600 trees), ample portions of arable land (20.9 ha) ideal for planting new vines, and woodland (18.7 ha), other than gardens, meadows and aprons for the vehicles (3.0 ha).

The vineyards have been planted with traditional materials to preserve the land from the infiltration of toxic substances, like those used to soak the wood.

The layout of the vineyards has been kept unaltered, avoiding excavations and removal of trees, creating a lovely mixed landscape.

The winery currently produces the following wines:

• Morellino di Scansano DOCG: 100% Sangiovese
• Toscana Bianco IGT: 100% Semillon
• Toscana Bianco IGT: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
• Toscana Rosé IGT: Grenache 90%, Pinot Noir 10%
• Toscana Rosso IGT: 100% Sangiovese
• Metodo Classico Rosé: 100% Pinot Noir

On the hills of the Maremma, not far from the sea, a 38.0-ha wine and olive estate for sale. The property consists of 7.0 ha of selected vineyards, including Sangiovese, Merlot, Alicante, Vermentino, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, with a yearly production of about 45,000 bottles of red and white wines. All the vineyards are registered with the Maremma DOC.

The property also includes 4.1 ha of olive groves, 10 ha of woodland and 15 ha of arable land, whose placement and exposure would be ideal for planting a new vineyard.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The wine cellar (300 m² – 3,228 ft²), built in 2016, is equipped with all modern technical equipment, including a new-generation control panel that also allows remote operation. Also newly constructed is a building of approximately 100 sqm that houses the tasting room with an adjoining barrique area, equipped with cutting-edge technology useful for storing barrels and terracotta amphorae (and the wines they contain) at a controlled temperature and humidity.

A recently built and fully-fenced manor house (220 m² – 2,367 ft²) consists of two apartments with separate entrances. From both flats there is a wonderful sea view.

The farm is completed by a small shed (80 sqm – 861 ft²), two active wells, an external scenographic lighting line, an alarm system in the cellar and barricade, three rainwater collection tanks useful for the irrigation line and agricultural equipment for the cultivation of both vineyards and olive groves.

The winery, currently in organic conversion, covers an area of 28.5 hectares laid out on the rolling hills of Maremma, in an area where the climate is influenced by its proximity to the sea.

The vineyard (9.6 ha) is the heart of the estate, which produces mainly Maremma DOC as well as generic Toscana IGT. The presence of red and white varieties ensures flexibility for the estate and allows it to adapt very well to a market with a rather heterogeneous demand.

The wines produced by the winery are as follows:

• Maremma Toscana DOC: Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
• Maremma Toscana DOC: Syrah
• Maremma Toscana DOC: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc
• Maremma Toscana DOC: Sangiovese 60%, Syrah 30%, Merlot 10%
• Maremma Toscana DOC: Merlot 100%
• Toscana Rosso IGT Passito: Aleatico, Merlot
• Toscana Bianco IGT: Vermentino, Chardonnay
• Toscana Bianco IGT: Sangiovese, Vermentino
• Spumante Brut Rosé: Sangiovese 60%, Syrah 30%, Merlot 10%

The olive grove (2.8 ha) consists of about 1,000 trees ranging in age from 50/60 years (300 trees) to 20 years (700 trees). Annual production is around 600/700 kg of extra virgin olive oil.

On the other hand, the rest of the farm is devoted to a garden (5,500 sqm arranged all around the house and accompanied by a large gravel parking area), arable land (6.7 ha), very suitable for planting new vines if one wished to expand production, and mixed woodland (6.0 ha). A large private lake on the property ensures water supply for irrigation of the fields and vines in case of emergency.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The wine cellar (281 m² – 3,023 ft², 1 bathroom) is a newly constructed concrete building that houses the grape processing, fermentation and aging rooms. Completing the building is a warehouse for the finished product, the bottling line, and an administrative office with a small service bathroom. In terms of equipment, the winery is equipped with steel vats for winemaking, all with temperature control system.

The manor house (322 m² – 3,465 ft², 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) is a rustic building on two floors, currently inhabited by the owners but easily divisible into two independent apartments (one on each floor):

• Ground floor: large double living room with veranda, kitchen, dining room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and technical room for the systems;
• First floor: spacious living room, kitchen, master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet, two bedrooms and shared bathroom.

Next to the cellar is then a small guesthouse (44 m² – 473 ft², 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom), laid over one level and composed of living area with kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom.

A shed (68 m² – 731 ft²) allows to shelter equipment and vehicles used to work the fields and vineyards or as covered parking for cars.

On the hills of Maremma, not far from the Tuscan coast, 120.1-hectare organic wine estate. The property features 96.0 ha of vineyards, made up of red and white varieties, a 1,200 m² cellar and a country house to be restored. The yearly production can reach up to 120 tons of grapes (with a theoretical production of over a million bottles of wine).

The property includes a huge agricultural warehouse (1,200 m² – 12,912 ft²) that is currently used as storage for tools and vehicles and as a wine cellar with pressing tools and fermentation vats.

A two-story country house (300 m² – 3,228 ft², formerly owned by Ente Maremma) has been inhabited until a few years back by some of the employees of the winery and only needs a few finishing and updating works to be inhabited and exploited in its full potential.

On the hills of Maremma, at the borders with Val d’Orcia and the production area of Brunello di Montalcino, 88.9-hectare organic wine estate. The property includes an ample vineyard (52.3 ha of white and red varieties), a country house to be restored and an agricultural warehouse. There is an approved project for a new wine cellar. The yearly production ranges around 600 tons of grapes (with a potential of up to 550,000 bottles of wine).

The heart of the property is a three-story historic building (600 m² – 6,456 ft²) which could be restored into an Agriturismo. The building is currently split into two apartments: one has been inhabited since a few years back, while the other is occasionally used by the owners. The building is structurally sound, with the roof being remade roughly ten years ago, but needs renovation and updates to be fully exploitable.

Facing the nearby courtyard is an agricultural warehouse (800 m² – 8,608 ft²), recently built, that is currently used as storage for tools and vehicles.

There is an approved project (to be re-activated) for the construction of a huge wine cellar (roughly 2,500 m² – 26,900 ft²).
