This 5.6-ha wine estate is located less than 3 km from Montepulciano. The estate includes 2.5 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 modern winery has all the facilities for processing and transforming grapes. A small house (90 sqm) is used by the owners. The olive grove has about 1,000 trees.
The property can be reached by a short white road (300 m) and has all the necessary services in the medieval town of Montepulciano. The location of the property also allows to reach many of the art cities of Tuscany and Umbria (Pienza, Orvieto, Siena, Monteriggioni, Florence, Castiglione del Lago...).
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The farm consists of several buildings (710 sqm 7,640 sqft) 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 sqm 968 sqft), 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.
