Details

The entire property had been abandoned until 1950 when the current owners took over. The estate spreads over approximately twelve hectares of land and includes fermentation and ageing cellar built on three levels with a gravity system and is equipped with the best systems for the biodynamic production of Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino.The vineyards and olive groves extend over 10 hectares of the land.Last, but not least, there is a splendid Villa on the estate, the result of a careful restoration of the old country home. The house faces one of the most enchanting and intense views of the entire Val d?Orcia.Thanks to the careful recovery work by architect Lensi Orlandi Cardini, the country house has an exceptional number of windows of varying sizes. The house is laid out on two floors, connected by a noteworthy wrought iron and travertine staircase. On the first floor there is the living area, the kitchen and one bedroom with bath, while on the second floor there is the sleeping area. The distinct characteristics of Sienese houses with their stone walls, vault ceilings and terracotta floors were left untouched, but the house was enhanced with paintings, photographs, sculptures and various contemporary works of art whose owners are among the most important emergent Italian collectors.Inside the Villa, many works of art, including Giacinto Cerone, Federico Pietrella, Basilia Andrea Aquilanti, Cannavacciolo, can be found. In this home, there is an unusual and innovative union between the classic beauty of the Tuscan countryside with its typical Sienese construction and the uniqueness of the inside, enriched by a vast collection of XXI century works. The environment is extremely subdued and the minimal furnishing lends itself to blending in with the allure of contemporary art. The atmosphere of the living area is warmed by the stone fireplace and by the captivating notes of the piano. On the first floor, there are four double rooms and three baths. The two corner rooms have a private bathroom in travertine, one with a shower and the other with a bathtub. Both have ample space to relax and include wardrobes, which make the rooms similar to suites. The third bedroom is distinguished by its big fireplace and has access to the outside garden via a stone staircase.
