This 5.6-ha wine estate is located less than 3 km from Montepulciano. The estate includes 3.0 ha of vineyards, registered as Nobile di Montepulciano (1.0 ha), Rosso di Montepulciano (0.1 ha) and Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG (1.3 ha), and produces about 20,000 bottles of red wine per year.

The farm consists of several buildings (710 m² – 7,640 ft²) used for wine production and product storage.

The winemaking cellar is a modern building (built in the 1970s and fully renovated in 2000), designed specifically to optimize production. For aging, on the other hand, an underground cellar is used, dug into the tuffaceous hillside by an Amiata miner. Near the aging cellar is also the bottling line for the wine. The winemaking cellar has a maximum capacity of about 800 hl (expandable), same for the aging cellar (also 800 hl, expandable for about 300 hl).

The sale of the estate also includes the equipment in the cellar, which is necessary for the proper operation of the winery.

Other buildings include warehouses for storage, storerooms for equipment and treatments, and sheds for tools and vehicles.

Next to the winery is a charming little house (about 90 m² – 968 ft²), inhabited by the owners, that consists of a living room with dining area, kitchen, storage room, two bedrooms and bathroom. The roof of the house was entirely replaced in 1989 and is still in good condition.

The farm covers a total area of 5.6 hectares (13.8 ac), divided into two poderi located a short distance from each other on the hills of Montepulciano.
