Vines were first planted here in the 12th century, and this 100-hectare estate with its medieval castle has been producing vintages ever since. Only 22km from Florence, it offers comfortable rooms in the castle and self-catering apartments in estate farmhouses. On-site facilities include a restaurant (open April to November) and a scenically sited swimming pool with adjacent hot tub.
