When a family of farmers fell in love with it and decided to move here in the year 2000, it was a 16th-century country ruin on the hills of San Gimignano, surrounded by land planted with olive trees and vines. They began restoring the cottage and renewing the crops according to the methods of organic farming, with the goal of resurrecting the rustic beauty of the farm and reviving its land to productivity.

Today the owner's two sons, now grown up, continue alongside their parents this work nurtured by their passion for Nature and its rhythms, but also for quality wines and oil. Over the years, the land has been converted to organic production and obtained the ICEA (Ecological and Environmental Certification Institute) certification. This was one of the first producers in the Chianti Colli Senesi area to make wines with organic certification, protecting the agricultural ecosystem and biodiversity.

The result is wines without chemical residues, produced in harmony with the slow rhythms of the land and respecting the working conditions of the company's employees. The wines of the estate include some of the most famous Tuscan wine denominations: Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Chianti Colli Senesi, Chianti Classico, as well as a variety of Supertuscan wines.

All this is made possible by an optimal balance between tradition and innovation. Indeed, in addition to the classic aging methods, the estate's wines are produced with innovative techniques that reinvent the past, such as fermentation in concrete tanks or terracotta amphorae. The extra virgin olive oil, on the other hand, is produced exclusively with the traditional method of cold pressing to preserve the best organoleptic qualities.
