The farm is dominated by the historic abbey built in 1340 by the Olivetan Benedictine Monks. Its soils of marine origin, composed of yellow sands and clays, and the continental climate, create the ideal conditions for the cultivation of grapes and olives. The estate produces, in the 18 hectares of vineyards, one of the oldest and most prestigious wines in Italy: Vernaccia di San Gimignano.
Obtained from a noble vineyard already celebrated at the time of Dante Alighieri, Vernaccia was the first Italian wine to obtain already in the year 1966 the DOC, which became later Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin in 1993. From the farm, located in an charming location, you can enjoy the spectacular view of the nearby town of San Gimignano with its a hundred towers.
