A TUSCAN Estate

A rare private sale opportunity in the heart of Chianti, this Tuscan estate combines centuries of heritage with a fully operating wine, olive, hospitality, and experience based business.

The estate traces its lineage back to the 14th century Gherardini family, through noble houses including Catellini, Pitti, Ughi, and Ghibellini, named by Dante in Paradiso. The property later passed through Muzzi and Gucci ownership and has been held by the current owners since 1963.

Prime Tuscan Location

Positioned in the coveted municipality of Barberino Tavarnelle, the estate sits between Florence, Siena, and San Gimignano’s iconic medieval skyline. The property offers panoramic views of San Gimignano’s UNESCO protected towers and is easily accessible from key destinations:

• Florence: 40 km, around 40 minutes

• Siena: 35 km, around 35 minutes

• The Coast: around 1 hour 15 minutes

About the Estate

The property features a genuine working farm and hospitality ecosystem, ready for a new operator who wants to inherit a legacy estate and avoid years of setup, permits, and business launch work.

• Built infrastructure: The estate includes nearly 5,900 m² of built structures, including apartments, warehouses, offices, and an extensive underground cellar. Additional future building expansion rights are also available.
• Organic agricultural land: The property spans 112 hectares of certified organic land across vineyards, olive groves, woodland, and a private truffle ground.
• Operating business model: The estate runs a proven direct to consumer sales model. Wine and olive oil are sold directly to guests visiting the property for tastings, light lunches, private events, and experiences. This model avoids distributors and wholesalers, helping protect margins.
• Built in guest flow: The estate receives around 50 guests per day during the April to October season, creating consistent traffic for tastings, lunches, cooking classes, truffle hunts, weddings, and private events.

Six Licensed Businesses, One Estate

This is an operational ecosystem with every permit, license, and certification already in place:

• Licensed Winery: Official authorization for on site wine bottling, with a complete cellar, fermentation, and aging facility carved into tuff stone.

• Olive Oil Production: Certified organic olive groves with authorization for bottling estate produced extra virgin olive oil.

• Wedding Venue: Registered Casa Comunale, allowing legal civil ceremonies to be hosted on site inside the historic stone cellar.

• Leased Restaurant: A fully operational on site restaurant already leased as an independent business. The operating license transfers with the sale.

• Private Truffle Ground: An officially registered truffle reserve on the property, supporting hosted truffle hunting experiences.

• Cooking School: A dedicated and fully licensed kitchen space next to the cellars, used for hosted cooking classes and experiential revenue.
