This 11.7-ha wine estate is located within walking distance of Montepulciano The estate includes 3.5 ha of vineyards, registered as Nobile di Montepulciano (2.2 ha) and Toscana igt (1.0 ha). The well-exposed vineyards allow the production of about 40,000 bottles of wine each year.

Description of the buildings, state and finishes
The farm consists of a rustic farmhouse (440 sqm) and some outbuildings, partially restored.
On the ground floor of the farmhouse are the winery, the winemaking and grape processing rooms and a warehouse where the wines rest before being marketed. The winemaking cellar is equipped with all the necessary tools to optimize production such as steel tanks with controlled temperature and wood for excellent aging of red wines.

On the upper floor of the farmhouse we find other rooms to be renovated. There is already a project for the work to create three independent apartments, all consisting of living room with kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom.

The other outbuildings are currently used as storage but could be useful to complement the farmhouse or as a farm store.
