Estate With Historic Village And Vineyard On The Etruscan Coast

On the edge of the Bolgheri district – the most famous appellation on the Tuscan coast, known worldwide for the Super Tuscans produced on soils identical in composition to those of this estate – this 360-hectare property offers a magnificent investment opportunity. An extraordinarily comprehensive system combining production, living and culture: 7,000 sqm across ten distinct buildings, 55 hectares of fully operational vineyards planted with internationally renowned grape varieties, a historic village with vaulted cellars, a restaurant, a shop and a museum, a manor house with a tower, an artificial lake fed by natural springs, 267 hectares of woodland and an estate stretching for five kilometres, bordering four municipalities. 

The estate’s heart lies in its 55-hectare vineyard, cultivated on soils characteristic of the Bolgheri conglomerate. Optimal sun exposure, sea breezes that temper summer temperatures and the natural protection of the woods to the north create a microclimate exceptionally favourable to quality viticulture. The varieties grown allow for production both within the Montescudaio DOC framework and for age-worthy wines of international calibre: Sangiovese, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Roussanne. 

The main villa with its tower is the architectural feature that best defines and represents the entire complex. On the ground floor, there is a living room, an antechamber, a kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom with a shower. On the first floor, the right wing houses two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and a private terrace; the left wing features a suite comprising a bedroom, a living room and an en-suite bathroom with access to the tower terrace — one of the most picturesque views on the property. The duplex in the rear wing offers two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and a private terrace, functioning as a fully self-contained unit. The first-floor layout allows, if desired, for the creation of two independent apartments in place of the current single-unit layout. The villa is complemented by two annexes: the first with two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom and an outdoor terrace; the second with two bedrooms, a kitchen and a terrace. 

The historic village is at the heart of the estate’s development potential: cellars with ancient vaults, a restaurant, a shop, a rural museum and three agricultural sheds form a system already structured for high-end hospitality and wine tourism. The vaulted cellars represent one of the complex’s most historically and scenically valuable features, ideal for private tastings and exclusive events. The building with seven apartments, each with two or three bedrooms, completes the accommodation offering with spacious, self-contained units. The caretaker’s villa ensures the estate’s operational management is carried out with complete autonomy. 

The 270 hectares of woodland that completely surround the property guarantee total privacy and visual seclusion rarely found in properties with such logistical accessibility. The artificial lake, fed by natural springs, is a water and landscape resource of great value — both for irrigating the vineyards and as a scenic feature for any future accommodation developments. The 35 hectares of arable land and three hectares of olive groves complete the estate’s integrated agricultural vocation. The on-site photovoltaic system contributes to the complex’s energy self-sufficiency.
