On the hills of San Gimignano, in the Chianti Colli Senesi area, wine farm with 83.4 ha vineyard and stately villa for sale. The estate consists of several residential buildings (over 4,400 sqm in total), partly to be renovated, which could be used as an accommodation business (about 35 bedrooms). The wine cellar (nearly 1,700 sqm with a vat capacity of 16,000 hl) allows the production of about 5,000 hl of wine per year.

The farm stretches in its entirety for about 312.1 hectares (771.2 acres) in a hilly position. To these are added about 6.1 hectares (15.1 acres) of land (entirely within the municipality of San Gimignano) that are currently leased and on which the farm has planted, at its own expenses, the Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Vermentino Toscana vineyards.

The winemaking activity forms the backbone of the winery:

• Chianti DOCG: Sangiovese 90%, Cabernet Sauvignon 10%
• Chianti DOCG: Sangiovese 90%, Cabernet Sauvignon 5%, Merlot 5%
• Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG: Vernaccia 100%
• Toscana Rosso IGT: Sangiovese 100%
• Toscana Rosso IGT: Cabernet Sauvignon 50%, Sangiovese 50%
• Toscana Rosso IGT: Sangiovese 60%, Cabernet Sauvignon 40%
• Toscana Bianco IGT: Chardonnay 100%
• Toscana Bianco IGT: Sauvignon Blanc 100%
• Toscana Bianco IGT: Vermentino 100%
• Toscana Rosato IGT: Sangiovese 100%

The olive groves (8.4 ha) are distributed mainly in specialized plantings and rows along the roads. The trees are all in full production and have recently undergone maintenance and pruning. The olives are processed in external mills and the oil obtained (generally between 1,300 and 1,800 kg per year) marketed in bottles. 

The plantings of timber arboriculture (6.3 ha) date back to the late 1990s following those guidelines of the time that envisioned the establishment of plantings aimed at the production of valuable timber that also allowed the exploitation of those lands not suitable for vineyards and olive trees. As of today, the period of commitment has ended and such forests could be easily cut for biomass production, a much more profitable use.

Much of the farm is then covered by woodland (202.3 ha) that is cut according to a regulated rotation system. Much of this forest is included in a larger hunting reserve.
