Wine estate with a medieval hamlet in the Sienese Chianti Classico
REF. CNT190
On the hills of Castelnuovo Berardenga, a stone hamlet of medieval origin looks down over a patchwork of vineyards, olive groves and oak woods. Around it unfolds an estate of more than 55 hectares, where the alberese stone of the oldest façade has been catching the golden light of sunset for almost a thousand years.
The vineyards
The 20.05 hectares of vineyards, facing south-east between 230 and 382 metres, are entirely registered for Chianti Classico DOCG. Sangiovese leads, alongside Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Canaiolo Nero: 14.62 hectares in full production, 2.38 for IGT Toscana and 3.05 to be replanted according to one’s own winemaking vision. The claimable output reaches about 805 hectolitres of Chianti Classico.
Olive groves, woodland and water
Some 1,600 olive trees on 6.5 hectares, a small arable plot and 28 hectares of woodland wrap the property in a frame of calm. The estate is self-sufficient in water, with two wells, a 5,200 sq m reservoir and a seasonal spring.
The hamlet
At the top of the hill, the hamlet preserves walls from the 11th and 12th centuries and houses seven independent apartments of about 805 sq m, renovated in 2000, four of them already used for agritourism with 10 beds. Offices with a tasting room, a 171 sq m historic cellar and a swimming pool from which the eye drifts across the vines to the Siena skyline complete the ensemble. The ancient church is not included in the sale but may be purchased separately.
The winery
Semi-underground, clad in stone and topped by a green roof of lawn and olive trees, the 1,163 sq m winery is laid out for the full production cycle and awaits a reactivation that leaves the new owner free to fit it out as they wish.
The manor villa
At the heart of the hamlet, the villa of about 1,277 sq m, with lemon house and Italian garden, is offered as a separate lot: for sale are full ownership of 5% and bare ownership of 80%, with a lifetime usufruct held by another owner. When it ends, the buyer becomes owner of 85% of the villa.
