Chianti Vineyard

The property of around 16 hectares/ 40 Acres is located in the municipality of Montespertoli in Florence, in the province of Florence, which is part of Tuscany. It’s situated in the Chianti wine production area and is renowned for its wines, extra virgin olive oil, and agricultural products.

In May 2022, the municipality of Montespertoli granted a building permit for a new cellar of approximately 605 square meters.

The design allows for extremely easy operations, ample space, tasting rooms, customer reception, direct sales, guided tours, and all aspects have been designed to facilitate these operations.

The interior of the cellar is equipped with all the necessary features for organized work, wine storage, winemaking, goods receipt and shipping, analysis laboratory, warehouse, mechanical workshop, a bottling line with an hourly capacity of over 3,000 bottles per hour, including filling, capping, labeling, strapping, and pallet wrapping machines, which are essential for addressing the global market where the company is already operating.
