Wine estate
Situated in the hamlet of Greve in Chianti, in Panzano, the estate is nestled in the ‘Conca d’Oro’ (Golden basin), an area recognised as the finest zone for producing Chianti Classico. The first document attesting its existence dates back to 1408. Records indicate that in the late fifteenth century the property was owned by the Benedictine monks of Siena. Before the end of the modern age the estate was sold to the Florentine Hospital of Santa Maria Nuova, and records show that, even at that time, the farm produced a great variety of food products, including wine and oil. At the end of the 1860s, the property was purchased as a country house by the Farkas family, but by 1967 it was in such a state of neglect that the Farkas decided not only to renovate the wine cellars, but also to replant the vineyards and olive groves. Since 2016 it became property of ISA S.p.A. (Istituto Atesino di Sviluppo S.p.A.), financial service holding company of Trento.
