USE AND POTENTIAL USES

The property, thanks to its ample size, is already being used as an accommodation business, with numerous beds available for the clients. The other backbones of the property are the winery with its 16.5 hectares of vineyard granting a high-quality production, among which we find IGT and DOCG wines (Chianti). Processed wine (ca. 500 hl a year) gets partially bottles (ca. 15,000 bottles) while the remaining quantity (ca. 390 hl) is sold as cask wine to other bottlers in the area. Right behind we must cite the production of nice Tuscan extra-virgin oil obtained thanks to the olive grove in the property (4 ha).
