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.

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.

Located on a hilltop position, a stone’s throw from the famous Montalcino, historical Brunello di Montalcino wine estate with 16.2152 ha of vineyards: Brunello di Montalcino (7.6677 ha), Rosso di Montalcino (3.7532 ha) e Sant’Antimo Rosso (4.7943 ha).

The estate spans over 21.0 hectares (51.9 acres) of land (all directly owned, and not rented), located in two different spot roughly 5 km apart (10’). Owning two different lands in two different spots was a deliberate choice: in fact, a different exposure of the vineyards allows the wines to show specific characteristics based on the origin place of the grapes used.

The farmhouse at the center of the estate dates back to the end of the 19th century but the winery was only established in the 1950s and was one of the first to be part of the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG registry after its inception in 1966. Wines produced in the estate have been awarded over the years many prizes and great recognition on important magazines of the sector such as Wine Advocate (93/100), Vinum Extra (16.5 points) and Decanter Magazine (93/100).

The winery currently produces the following wines, that are then sold on the markets of Austria, Belgium, Canada, Finland, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States.

• Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG: 100% Sangiovese
• Brunello di Montalcino DOCG: 100% Sangiovese
• Rosso di Montalcino DOC: 100% Sangiovese
• Sant'Antimo Rosso DOC: 100% Sangiovese

The complex N°1 is made up of three buildings.

• The building A lies onto two floors and has on the ground floor (73 m²) some storage rooms and a laundry, while on the first floor (73 m²) there are a living room, a kitchen, a closet, two bedrooms and a bathroom.
• The building B is divided into two floors too and it is the construction hosting the cellar in the underground level (203 m²). On the ground floor there are the offices for the business, a sales area, a living room used as a tasting area, two bathrooms, two bedrooms and a kitchen.
• Lastly, the building C is instead used as a storage room and garage (75 m²).

The complex N°2 (330 m²) is located in a nearby town and houses the bottling line and a warehouse where wine is stored before being put onto the market.

The complex N°3 (217 m²) is not directly owned but rented. Here we find another cellar and a storage room. The tenancy agreement is renewable on demand.

A project has been recently approved for the construction of a new wine cellar (1,600 m² in total) which would allow increasing the efficiency of wine-making, leading in turn to an increase in production by removing the need of renting a building for winemaking.

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.
