State and finishes
The property is made up prevalently of buildings dating back to the 19th century, fully and finely restored to preserve those characteristics typical to Tuscan countryside structures. External stone walls, brought back to their original beauty, clashes with plastered and painted internal walls granting brightness to the interiors. Other classy details include the beautiful wooden beams sustaining the roofs and the high-quality terracotta floors arranged in fishbone style.
The villa has light-toned parquet floors, with plastered and white-painted walls. Roofs are sustained by wooden beams which have been painted white.
Many of the apartments have masonry or stone fireplaces, perfectly restored and working.
The cellar is a spartan building, without too much luxury finishes and organized to provide a functional place for grapes processing and wine making. The barriques cellar is, instead, very refined with ample sections of exposed stone and finely preserved visible wooden beams.
The small church in the property (dating back to the 17th century) is still consecrated and boasts door and window frames carved in the pietra serena typical to the Florence area. On the inside, the altar is enriched by sculpted angels while the floors are covered in ancient terracotta tiles.

Exteriors
Next to the building of Hamlet A there is a wonderful 14 × 7 m pool (built in 1998) offering a panoramic view over the surrounding hills and fitted with a tiled solarium.

The property is surrounded by 117.1 hectares (289.4 acres) of land, mainly covered in woodlands (84.6 ha). The remaining hectares are split among chestnut grove (2.0 ha), arable and grazing land (14.1 ha), a nice 1,000-tree olive grove (4.9 ha) and a nice vineyard (11.5 ha).

The vineyard, in particular, is the heart of the property given the production of the prestigious Chianti Rufina DOCG. First implants date back to the biennium 1972-1973 with Sangiovese and Malvasia (6.3 ha). In 1994 Sangiovese got an expansion, together with new Trebbiano and Canaiolo implants (6.2 ha). In 1997 more Sangiovese is added to the property (0.8 ha). In 2003 it’s time for Merlot, Syrah and Pinot Noir (2.4 ha). Ultimately, in 2016, more Sangiovese is planted together with Ciliegiolo and Pinot Blanc (2.1 ha). As of now, more vines are being planted in the property.

The land also includes a small lake, perfect for fishing. Several paths crisscross the property and are ideal for trekking and hitch-hiking lovers.

What’s more, the area is classified as a hunting reserve, usable all year long and with the possibility of hunting in the neighboring properties.
