USE AND POTENTIAL USES
The property is currently working both as an Agriturismo and as a winery. From the agricultural point of view, the property’s backbone is the production of Chianti Classico DOCG wine and extra-virgin olive oil.
From the accommodation point of view, instead, the property features three ample buildings with many bedrooms which could be rented out to guests. Potentially, the building currently used by the staff and partially unrestored could be used to increase the number of bedrooms available for the guests, increasing in turn the income generated by the property.
