Description of the buildings
The complex N°1 is made up of three buildings.
The building A lies onto two floors and has on the ground floor (73 mq) some storage rooms and a laundry, while on the first floor (73 mq) there are a living room, a kitchen, a closet, two bedrooms and a bathroom.
The building B is divided into two floors too and it is the construction hosting the cellar in the underground level (203 sqm). On the ground floor there are the offices for the business, a sales area, a living room used as a tasting area, two bathrooms, two bedrooms and a kitchen.
Lastly, the building C is instead used as storage room and garage (75 sqm).

The complex N°2 (330 sqm) is located in the town of Torrenieri and houses the bottling line and a warehouse where wine is stored before being put onto the market.

The complex N°3 (217 sqm) is not directly owned but rented. Here we find another cellar and a storage room. The tenancy agreement is renewable on demand.

A project has been recently approved for the construction of a new wine cellar (1,600 sqm in total) which would allow increasing the efficiency of wine-making, leading in turn to an increase in production by removing the need of renting a building for wine making.

State and finishes
The original building dates back to 1874 and has been bought by the current owners in 2003. The property is in excellent structural and aesthetic conditions, with stone and brick walls on the outside, plastered walls on the inside and wooden furniture.

Exteriors
The estate is enriched by over 21.0 hectares (51.9 acres) of land (all directly owned, and not rented), located in two different spot roughly 5 km apart (10’). Owning two different plots in two different areas was a deliberate choice: In fact, a different exposure of the vineyards allows the wines to show specific characteristics based on the origin place of the grapes used.

Details on wine production
The farmhouse at the center of the estate dates back to the end of the 19th century but the winery was only established in the 1950s and was one of the first to be part of the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG registry after its inception in 1966. Wines produced in the estate have been awarded over the years many prizes and great recognition on important magazines of the sector such as Wine Advocate (93/100), Vinum Extra (16.5 points) and Decanter Magazine (93/100).
