Vitignanello - S. Giovanni (barn)

Home description

VITIGNANELLO is a young winery in Chianti producing a fabulous Super Tuscan recently mentioned on the gourmet food and wine channel ‘Gambero Rosso’ for its quality and the beauty of the estate itself. Vitignanello offers its guests 3 independent luxury apartment rentals in a converted barn on top of the historical hamlet of Pianella. The barn, originally part of a larger estate comprising thousands of hectares of land and buildings is now a private residence overlooking the vineyard to one side and the beautiful panorama of the Chianti Region, its rolling hills dotted by olive groves and lined by vineyards to the other. The careful conversion of the barn, designed by a Sienese architect was carried out maintaining the simple traditional exterior structure of Tuscan barns whilst making the interiors very elegant, with astonishing design elements which are a true delight for the appreciative and the connoisseur. Comfort , ecology and beauty are the underlying motives of the house.

The Tuscany region

Chianti is a rather wide area of Tuscany (70,000 hectares) shaped by wonderful hills, valleys, forests and mountains running on pretty much a north/south alliance between Florence and Siena.

It is very famous for its red wine, named after the region itself and for the stunning beauty of its landscape, dotted by olive trees and lined by vineyards whose colour changing throughout the seasons make Chianti an all-year.-round wonder.
Its continental climate with a moderately low temperature in winter (3º or 4º C.) is dry and hot in summer rising over 35º C. The temperature is not going into a significant alteration during the day because of the different height’s scales of the territory which are going from 250 to 600 meters above sea level and surpassing 800 meters in the mountains.


Chianti has been been producing suberb wines since the end of the 14th, the many medieval wine estates with their gorgeous castles witness this ancient tradition. N owadays Chianti wines, as well as it extra virgin olive oil, are undoubtedly among the most appreciated Italian products.
