Exteriors and wine production
The estate covers a total surface of 54.0 hectares (133.4 acres), split among vineyards (19.7 ha), olive grove (7.0 ha with possibility of obtaining the dop Colli Fiorentini denomination) and Mediterranean woodland (27.3 ha). All the operations are carried out with rigorous organic methods, certified by the EU.
The 19.6 hectares of vineyard (set at an altitude ranging from 150 m and 250 m asl) are almost entirely registered as Chianti Colli Fiorentini DOCG (19.2 ha) and ensure an average yield of 8.5 tons of grapes per hectare. Yearly production is around 100,000 bottles of wine but this could be further increased by buying the neighboring vineyards which would boost production up to 120,000 bottles per year.

- Varieties Sangiovese (78.6 %), Cabernet Sauvignon (8.0%), Merlot (5.5%), Vermentino (3.4%), Colorino (2.4%), Trebbiano (1.0%), Verdea (0.7%), Malvasia Bianca (0.4%)

The huge olive grove (7.0 ha) features over 1,000 trees of Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo and Pendolino varieties and is located in a spot that would allow obtaining the denomination dop Colli Fiorentini for the oil. Yearly production, accounting for the high variability due to environmental factors, ranges around 7.4 tons of extra-virgin olive oil.
