Chianti Classico Period Mansion with vineyards, Castelnuovo Berardenga, Siena - TuscanyWine estate with a Fifteenth-century villa, a medieval church with a bell, swimming pool, winemaking facility, vineyards, olive groves, for sale in Chianti near Siena. In the geometric landscape of Chianti vineyards, divided by country roads flanked by typical dry-stone walls, a unique 56-hectare estate featuring a medieval church, the original nucleus together with the monastic part, transformed into an elegant Renaissance private villa in the XV century and then decorated in the Baroque style at the behest of the Bishops of Siena, who used it as a summer residence. It can be easily reached by a smooth gravel road that follows the undulating hills. The oldest and most austere part of the structure, in exposed stone, belonging to the masterfully renovated church, is used as accommodation with three independent apartments. In warm yellow plaster with more graceful shapes, the Renaissance part is used as a private residence, illuminated by large round windows overlooking the landscaped gardens. A south-facing swimming pool in a secluded position allows you to enjoy the warm Tuscan sun and the landscape up to the unmistakable skyline of Siena. The estate boasts a notable production of Chianti wines starring 20 hectares (49 acres) of Chianti Classico DOCG and IGT vineyards. The company's winemaking tradition is centuries old: the first cellar was built a thousand years ago, at the same time as the church, and it has remained intact over the centuries. A few steps from the main building, the basement is fully equipped for the entire production process, from the grape to the bottle. Even a century-old olive grove bears good fruit in this generous land. Ideal for hosting events, ceremonies, and weddings in the private church featuring a classic bell tower on the roof.
