The elegant country wine estate is set in over 200 acres of forest and vines and located in the southern tip of the Chianti Classico region and stretches for 2km with most of the area covered in woodland with plenty of wildlife sighting opportunities including deer and wild boar. The lower border is defined by the river Arbia, made famous by Dante in his Divine Comedy as he described the river running red after the battle of nearby Monteaperti, where the Sienese defeated the Florentines in the 13th century battle depicted as the bloodiest battle of the Italian middle ages.
