Property description
On the hills of Chianti, not far from Castelnuovo Berardenga and Radda, 102.1-ha wine estate with manor villa and hamlet to be restored for sale. The property, which boasts an incredible history ranging from the Middle Ages to the present day, offers great potential for receptive tourist development to go hand in hand with wine production: in fact, the farm exploits 28.5 ha of vineyards to produce about 130,000 bottles of wine per year.
The renovation of the various buildings (over 4,500 sqm in total) would pave the way for the creation of a luxury boutique hotel in a very renowned area of Tuscany, less than an hour from Florence and Siena: the convenient location and beautiful spaces (both indoor and outdoor) would also allow the property to be exploited not only for seasonal rentals but also as a location for events, ceremonies, conferences and corporate conventions.
Basic services are available in the nearby medieval village (1km; 2’) while for everything else you just need to reach Siena, less than half an hour's drive away. Tuscany’s best-known art cities (Monteriggioni, San Gimignano, Pienza, Montepulciano...).

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS, STATE AND FINISHES
The manor house (1,300 sqm – 13,988 sqft, up to 15 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms) is a large stately building dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, registered at the superintendence and currently unused. The large rooms on the ground floor were formerly used as a tasting area (with capacity for up to 80 guests) with guest bathrooms, professional kitchen and storage rooms. The upper floors are abandoned and need major renovation and restoration before they can be used.

The wine cellar (2,000 sqm – 21,520 sqft, 2 bathrooms) is a modern, large building structured on three floors and equipped with freight elevators between levels for easier transport of products.
- Ground floor: administrative offices, store with tasting corner, kitchen for preparation, warehouse, bathrooms and large panoramic terrace (potentially to be used as tasting area in summer);
- Underground level (–1) (with direct access for farm vehicles): winemaking rooms, bottling line, warehouse for storage of finished product;
- Underground level (–2): aging cellar, equipment storage, kitchen, changing rooms for employees and toilets.
Equipment in the winery includes twenty-four steel winemakers (10 hl each), oak barrels (with capacities ranging from 5 to 60 hl), Bucher presses, destemmers, grape collection tanks, air conditioning system, and miscellaneous machinery.

In front of the castle, a short distance from the access bridge, we find a rustic farmhouse (220 sqm – 2,367 sqft, 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms) currently disused but easily converted into a charming B&B. The building is laid over two floors and consists of eight spacious bedrooms, all with private bathrooms and direct access from the outside.

Next to the farmhouse is the old barn (105 sqm – 1,130 sqft), structured on two floors and formerly used as a common area for guests with a breakfast room, professional kitchen for food preparation, reception for guests, two bathrooms and a spacious independent common room on the upper floor.

In the midst of the vineyards, north of the manor house, is a small rural hamlet to be renovated consisting of two rustic farmhouses (340 sqm – 3,658 sqft and 360 sqm – 3,874 sqft, respectively, up to 10 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms), both on two floors, and an old animal stable (125 sqm – 1,345 sqft), very convenient as a tool storage. Under the vegetation, there used to be two agricultural storage buildings (25 sqm – 269 sqft in total) that could be rebuilt and/or used as cubage to expand the existing buildings.

The property is completed by a vehicle shed (55 sqm – 592 sqft) set at the edge of the vineyards.

EXTERIOR
The winery spans approximately 102.1 hectares (252.3 acres) in total, lying on the rolling hills of Chianti. Pillars of the estate are undoubtedly the vineyard (28.5 ha divided into sixteen plots) and the olive grove (6.2 ha with plants of the Frantoio, Leccino and Moraiolo varieties). The company plans to plant an additional 3.8 ha of vineyards (with varieties to be defined) in addition to permits already obtained (expiring in 2025) for the planting of another 7.0 ha.
The remainder of the farm is then devoted to arable land (15.3 ha), woods (5.0 ha) and land pertaining to the buildings (1.6 ha) with gardens and maneuvering yards. A large private lake (about 10,000 sqm in surface) also insists on the arable land, which can be used to irrigate the fields and vineyards when needed.
The farm has been in organic conversion since 2021, with final certification scheduled for 2024.
