Award-Winning Wine Estate in Castellina in Chianti, Tuscany
Live the Tuscan dream at this gorgeous estate in Tuscany, spanning 222 acres with 103 acres of land dedicated to olive groves in production and vineyards, which produce 90,000 bottles per year of DOCG and DOC certified wines— some of which have won international awards.
The also estate comes with a well-equipped wine cellar, divided into a laboratory, bottling room, and storage room.
Dating back to the Middle Ages, the prestigious Tuscan estate has been restored, maintaining original, authentic detailing throughout.
The first mention of the property was in 998 AD, when the lands were donated by the Marquis Ugo di Tuscia to the abbey of Poggio Marturi.
In the 1200s, the farm passed to the Squarcialupi family, lords of the castle of Montarnano, who transformed the former watchtower into a farmhouse. The hunting lodge would also become the central body of the current manor house.
The estate was subsequently owned by the noble family, Ugolini, and by the 19th century, belonged to the Chiostri family. During WWII, the estate was occupied by the Germans and the Americans.
The property consists of an elegant manor house nestled in Italian-style gardens with century-old trees, and accompanied by an orangery, a conservatory, and a swimming pool overlooking the rolling Tuscan hills.
There are also 2 country houses on the estate that can accommodate up to 21 people.
La dolce vita: This dream Tuscan estate awaits the next chapter in its history with a buyer who appreciates the unique history and timeless landscape of this beloved region in Italy.
