The land surrounding the house and all the area around is mainly cultivated with olive trees and vineyards, we have our own production of OLIVE OIL and WINE.
Wine
the species of grapevine of this area are Sangiovese and Canaiolo, the DOC wine has the following mixture:
- 75% Sangiovese
- up to 10% Canaiolo
- up to 10% Trebbiano Toscano e Malvasia del Chianti (together or separately)
The colour of the local wine is vivid ruby, going towards dark red, with strong smell, a dry and balanced taste.
Our wine is not a proper DOC wine, the percentage of grapevines is not so strict but there’s definitely a major percentage of Sangiovese.
Olive oil

Our olive oil is strictly extra-vergin olive oil, olives are picked from October to December and then pressed at the local oil-press.
