VITIGNANELLO is a young winery in Chianti producing a fabulous Super Tuscan recently mentioned on the gourmet food and wine satellite channel ‘Gambero Rosso’ for its quality and the beauty of the estate itself. The estate also comprises an elegantly restored barn divided in 3 independent apartments sitting on top of the historical hamlet of Pianella. Vitignanello Piccolo is one of the rental units offered. The barn, originally part of a larger estate comprising thousands of hectares of land, farming and residential buildings is now a private residence overlooking the vineyard after which it was named to one side and the beautiful panorama of the Chianti Region, with its rolling hills dotted by olive groves and lined by vineyards to the other. A true delight for a relaxing holiday. Santa Lucia is one of two 70 sqm apartments sitting on the ground floor in the back portion of the of the barn. It is made up of a lovely private patio with outdoors eating and cooking facilities accessed directly through the bright, welcoming lounge with fireplace. Off the lounge is a fully fitted kitchen and a corridor leading to the two bedrooms, an en suite double and a twin with private bathroom. The decor is very elegant, only the best materials were used. the house has central heating and air conditioning. The 15X5 mt panoramic swimming pool placed at the front of the barn is easily accessed through a side passage.

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.
