Chianti Colli Fiorentini: Weingut Mit 19,7 Ha Weinbergen Zum Verkauf

In Tuscany, on the hills of Chianti Fiorentino, just a few km from Montespertoli, 77.1-ha organic estate with Chianti DOCG vineyards (19.8 ha), wine cellar and rustic farmhouse to be restored. Excellent opportunity for those looking for an established winery with potential for developing an accommodation business.
The property, which is not far from other buildings, is accessible via a paved road. Montespertoli is within easy reach of the most beautiful towns and villages in Tuscany such as e.g. San Gimignano (24km), Firenze (37km), Volterra (49km), Siena (51km), Lucca (80km), Pisa (81km).

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The business center (928 sqm – 9,985 sqft) is laid over two levels. On the lower floor is the wine cellar with a capacity of approximately 2,000 hl (cement and fiberglass vats), while the upper floor houses all the administrative offices, various warehouses and the bottling line. The building also includes two rooms to be renovated where the ageing barrels were once located.

An old farmhouse (515 sqm – 5,541 sqft) is a rustic multi-floor building that includes several storages and three apartments (totaling 276 sqm) to be restored. Two of these units could easily be adjoined to create a much larger dwelling.

EXTERIORS AND WINE PRODUCTION
The estate covers a total surface of 77.1 hectares (190.5 acres), split among vineyards (19.7 ha), olive grove (7.9 ha) and Mediterranean woodland (36.8 ha). Generous expanses of unused land (approx. 12.5 ha) could be used to further expand the vineyards or plant new crops. All the operations are carried out with rigorous organic methods, certified by the EU.

The 19.7 hectares of vineyard (set at an altitude ranging from 150 m and 250 m asl) are almost entirely registered as Chianti DOCG (19.2 ha) and ensure an average yield of 8.5 tons of grapes per hectare. Yearly production is around 100,000 bottles of wine but this could be further increased by buying the neighboring vineyards which would boost production up to 120,000 bottles per year.
• Vineyard surface: 19.7 hectares (19.2 ha Chianti Colli Fiorentini DOCG + 0.5 ha IGT)
• Varieties: Sangiovese (78.6 %), Cabernet Sauvignon (8.0%), Merlot (5.5%), Vermentino (3.4%), Colorino (2.4%), Trebbiano (1.0%), Verdea (0.7%), Malvasia Bianca (0.4%)
• Altitude: 150 – 250 m asl
• Training: pruned-spur cordon (15.7 ha) + Guyot (4.0 ha)
• Yearly production: up to 100,000 bottles (750 hl)

The huge olive grove (7.9 ha) features over 1,000 trees of Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo and Pendolino varieties and is located in a spot that would allow obtaining the denomination DOP Colli Fiorentini for the oil. Yearly production, accounting for the high variability due to environmental factors, ranges around 1,500 kg of extra-virgin olive oil.
