Description
In the heart of the Maremma region, a few kilometers from Scansano, between the valleys of the Ombrone and the Albenga rivers, in one of the areas most devoted for the production of the Morellino di Scansano, wine estate with cellar, farmhouse and guesthouse.
The heart of the property is the wine cellar (315 sqm – 3,389 sqft), which includes all the rooms for production, aging and bottling. Next to the cellar is then the sales room (63 sqm – 678 sqft).
Next to the winery is a large stone and masonry building that houses the owners’ home on the upper floor (101 sqm – 1,087 sqft), while on the ground floor are large rooms in builder’s finish to be used as an Agriturismo (305 sqm – 3,282 sqft).
Finally we find a guesthouse (84 sqm – 904 sqft) that was intended as a dwelling for the farm janitor or employees of the facility.
The cellar, perfectly equipped, includes 17 stainless steel tins (with capacity from 20 to 50 hectolitres) with remote temperature control for a total of 460 hectolitres of wine and 8 stainless steel tins for a total of 200 hectolitres of wine. The warehouse and the barricaia are equipped with a modern air conditioning system.
EXTERIORS
The property spans in its entirety 56.8 hectares (140.3 acres) and includes 12.0 hectares of specialized vineyard (6,250 plants per hectare) with selected IGT vines (with the possibility of registering them as Maremma DOC). The remaining land include an olive grove (2.2 ha with 600 trees), ample portions of arable land (20.9 ha) ideal to plant new vines, and woodland (18.7 ha), other than gardens, meadows and aprons for the vehicles (3.0 ha).
The vineyards have been planted with traditional materials to preserve the land from the infiltration of toxic substances, like those used to soak the wood.
The layout of the vineyards has been kept unaltered, avoiding excavations and removal of trees, creating a lovely mixed landscape.
