Splendid Wine Estate In The Heart Of Chianti Classico

On the beautiful hills of Tuscany, characterizing the territory between Siena and Florence lies this magnificent estate for sale, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and organic farmland. The property consists of six buildings, 5,500 square meters divided among a historic main villa, farmhouses, cellars, and other outbuildings. 133 hectares of land include vineyards, olive groves, farmland, and a splendid forest.The Chianti Classico region extends between Florence and Siena and has maintained its shape for centuries. Due to the characteristics of the climate, soil, and altitude, the land in this area has been particularly suitable for the production of fine wines since the time of the Etruscans. The vine reached Chianti thanks to these people, as evidenced by some Attic vases from the 6th century BC found in Castellina in Chianti. Viticulture continued to flourish during the Roman Empire and survived the barbarian devastations thanks to the efforts of Benedictine and Vallombrosan monks. These religious orders pursued, alongside the care of the spirit, the cultivation of vineyards and olive groves, encouraging the population to care for the fields and personally handle the production of oil and wine. From the year 1000 onwards, the "specialized" cultivation of the vine, trained in low rows, spread everywhere.It is during this period that the medieval village where this wonderful estate for sale is located arose. The property is divided into several buildings: the main villa, a farmhouse with a guesthouse, cellars both above and below ground, and other spaces intended for agricultural activities.Ref: 0453
