An Exceptional Restoration Opportunity On A Historic Tuscan Estate

An exciting opportunity to own and restore a distinguished farmhouse and two large annexes, set within the iconic Brolio estate, the heart of the Chianti Classico. Positioned in a private and elevated location, the property commands panoramic views across the estate’s organic vineyards and the gently undulating Chianti hills.

Podernuovi Farmhouse:

Surrounded by the estate vineyards, this is a fabulously positioned, unusually large and beautiful example of a traditional Tuscan ’podere’, complete with dovecote and two annexes. The property has a wonderful double loggia with arches on the upper and lower floors to one side of the building, and was chosen as the set for the film ’Sleeping Beauty’ with Jeremy Irons. The wonderful panoramic views stretch not only across the magnificent Tuscan landscape with Siena visible in the distance, but also up to the Brolio castle itself.

The main farmhouse, in need of restoration, measures approximately 1,050 sqm, with an additional 150 sqm annexe. Subject to planning consent, this property could be transformed into an exceptional family home, comprising seven bedroom suites, gymnasium, office and a dining room for up to 20 people, complete with a swimming pool, private gardens and large olive grove.

The Chianti Classico Country Lifestyle

The Chianti Classico region, set between Florence and Siena, is one of Italy’s most celebrated landscapes — a timeless blend of rolling vineyards, olive groves, and ancient hilltop villages. Here, life follows the rhythm of the seasons: the grape harvest in autumn, the olive pressing in winter, and long, golden summers that fill the air with the scent of wild herbs and cypress.

To live in Chianti Classico is to embrace a lifestyle deeply rooted in authenticity and simplicity. Days unfold at a slower pace — mornings begin with espresso in a medieval piazza, followed by visits to local markets overflowing with seasonal produce, pecorino cheese, and estate-made olive oil. Evenings are often spent outdoors, enjoying wine from nearby vineyards while the sun sets over the patchwork of fields and stone farmhouses.

The region is also remarkably well-connected. Florence, Siena, and San Gimignano are all within easy reach, offering world-class art, culture, and dining — yet Chianti itself remains wonderfully rural, defined by a sense of peace and space that feels a world apart.

Chianti Classico’s enduring charm lies in its balance: refined yet rustic, steeped in history yet alive with modern craftsmanship. The local estates, many centuries old, continue to produce wines that express both the land and the people who care for it — wines that have shaped the identity of Tuscany itself.

Owning a home here means more than enjoying breathtaking views; it is an invitation to participate in a living tradition — one that values nature, community, and the quiet beauty of daily life beneath the Tuscan sun.
