In the heart of Chianti, Agriturismo Monteraponi, is an ancient medieval village situated on the hill of the same name belonged to the Count Ugo Marchese and governor of Tuscany at the end of the tenth century, who donated it to the abbey he founded in Poggio Martori (High Poggibonsi).
The central structure remained almost intact, characterized by the presence of a tower with a square base. On the bridge house of the tower, archivolts, the typical windows of the twelfth century, are still visible and well–preserved. That building, for its central location and raised above the rest of the village, had to be the residence of the lord. Of the same period are the wine cellars beneath the tower surmounted by a large ceiling with a single vault, where the bottles of wine produced by the company are left to age.
