Historical Hamlet With Centuries-old Olive Trees In Chianti

Among the rolling hills that characterise the heart of Chianti Classico DOCG, where terraced vineyards, centuries-old olive groves and rows of cypress trees create one of the most famous agricultural landscapes in the world, stands this historic village of approximately 2,000 sqm, founded in the 17th century as a noble agricultural settlement. The location, just a few minutes from Castellina in Chianti – one of the three historic villages that made up the ancient Lega del Chianti together with Radda and Gaiole – is part of the original production area of Gallo Nero wine, a symbol recognised worldwide for quality and oenological excellence. The setting is that of the most authentic Tuscany: a territory that, since the 13th century, has been able to combine medieval heritage, wine-growing tradition and landscape conservation, now appreciated by an international clientele seeking historic residences surrounded by greenery and compatible with charming hospitality projects.

The complex is built around the master's house, the heart of the settlement, flanked by rustic farmhouses, a small consecrated church where baptisms and religious ceremonies were once held, and a stone cellar that still retains the atmosphere of the ancient Chianti wine cellars. In total, the village offers 22 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, distributed among buildings that retain their architectural identity intact: exposed beams, ceilings with original beams, handmade terracotta floors, stone arches, period fireplaces and ancient frescoes that tell centuries of history and rural Tuscan life. Part of the property was renovated in 2004, with conservation work that rebuilt the roofs and attics of all the units while preserving their original character, while other parts await restoration that could transform the village into a prestigious private residence, a luxury relais or a creative retreat for clients who appreciate the charm of historic architecture.

Outside, approximately five hectares of land surround the village in a layout typical of the Chianti landscape: two hectares of well-tended private gardens frame the panoramic swimming pool with views of the vine-covered hills, and three hectares of centuries-old olive groves still in production bear witness to the property's historical agricultural vocation. The presence of a natural water source guarantees water autonomy, while the elevated position ensures an open, unobstructed view, with views ranging from the silhouettes of medieval castles to the orderly geometry of the Chianti Classico vineyards. Former stables and service rooms complete the picture, offering further possibilities for development for spaces dedicated to wellness, tasting, events or the creation of independent annexes.
