EXTERNAL AREA The property is ideally divided into two parts: the first one including the building (cellar and apartment) and located in the outskirts of the village, and the second one with terrains located a short distance away from the building and outside the center. The cellar is surrounded by a nice space to allow the agricultural vehicles to come and go with the products, but it is usable, if needed, as a parking lot for cars. As said above, the terrains are located out of the village, a short distance away from the cellar, and span 37.5 hectares (92 acres) of land. in order of size, the land is split among agricultural land (25 ha - 62 ac), grazing land (5.5 ha - 13 ac), vineyards (4.5 ha - 11 ac), olive grove (0.5 ha - 1 ac), coppice woodland (1.5 ha - 4 ac) and unused land (0.5 ha - 1 ac). TOOLS PRESENT The cellar is operational and includes 4 fermentation tanks (75, 75, 80 and 130 hl for a total capacity of 360 hl) each with its own pump, timer, heating/cooling system and temperature checker. Locals are already arranged for the eventual installation of more fermentation tanks. There is then a 50 hl steel storage tank, 4 concrete basin (40, 40, 50 and 50 hl for a total capacity of 180 hl), two new oak barrels (20 and 20 hl for a total capacity of 40 hl), 9 first-passage French oak barriques and another 20 hl fiberglass tank.

The business is also fitted with a bottling system. PRODUCED WiNES AND QUANTiTiES The estate can currently produce up to 260 hl of wine per year. This quantity is mainly made up by Vermentino (between 50 and 60 hl per year, depending on years) and Sangiovese (ca. 200 hl per year). However, more Sangiovese vineyard was planted recently, thus the production should increase in the following years. This quantity of wine could potentially fill ca. 35.000 bottles per year. ♦ Maremma Toscana iGT: 85% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet-Sauvignon (priced € 2.50 - € 3.00 per bottle) ♦ Montecucco Bianco DOC: 100% Vermentino (priced € 3.50 - € 4.00 per bottle) USE AND POTENTiAL USES The cellar is in good conditions and fully operational while the above apartment, which is totally inhabitable, could use some restoration which is not strictly necessary. This apartment could be used as a private residence for the owners or, with a little reworking, converted into offices for the business with a wine-tasting area. Alternatively, one could always convert it into an accommodation for workers of the cellar.
