sq. Meters:950The farmhouse "Il Casale" is located south of Siena, in the Val di Chiana, within easy reach of towns of historical interest such as Montepulciano, Pienza, Cortona etc.
This farmhouse, completely restored to a high standard, is set in the beautiful and unspoilt Tuscan countryside over looking surrounding hills with olive groves and vineyards
The proprietors, Romano and Lia, pensioned teachers, have thought organising courses in enviromantal education and plant studie, guided tours through part of Italy famous for their wines, such as "Nobile di Montepulciano" where the poet Francesco Redi said "Every wine is king" , also there are courses in cookery using the traditional wood-burning oven, and in confectionary using honey and jams, as well as oil and wine.
If the guest would like, they can take part in the work on the farm during the olive, harvesting period.
Il casale a short distance from Montepulciano, Pienza, Cortona, Assisi, Perugia, Siena, Arezzo, Monte Oliveto Maggiore is in ideal position for cultural visit, also guided tours to the numerous locations of artistic and historic interest.
Starting with San Biagio cathedral, a work of the architect Antonio da San Gallo Il Vecchio.
A good balance of square volume on a map with the form of a greek cross, a resort with 2 bell towers on the 2 sides of the facade, similar to the project of San Pietro in Roma by Bramante.
Montepulciano, an ancient etruscan borough, has a strategic position between Valdichiana and Valdorcia valley, was for a long time contested between Siena and Firenze, the old city, the noisy noble buildings the cathedral and the council office in Piazza Grande, the Marzoccan colum in the Prato gate ( an obvious sign on the fiorentine conquest of the area ).
All the wonders of the borough come out to create an atmosphere of times gone by, especially when public holidays are celebrated, for example the "Bravio delle botti" in Montepulciano, the Palio di Siena the 2nd july and the 16th august, the Bruscello, the Teatro Povero in Montichiello.
The Wine cellar
The vine-growing and wine-producing farm, based in the wine area of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Siena, in Tuscany, Italy, is a young concern, firmly determined to place a higher price on the peculiarities of this area thanks to the use of selected clones that have been planted in the lands, specially suited to the vine growing as it is even described in some historical documents.
As a matter of fact this ground, of Pliocene origin, made up of clay rich in potassium, of yellow sands (tufa), of crushed and pudding stones mixed up with giant shells, allows to get high quality grapes and hence “Vino Nobile”, “of all wines the king” as the Tuscan poet Francesco Redi defined it.
The climate as well, marked by its dry summers cooled by periodical hill-breezes and by a long autumn, sometimes allows even the noble rot, that gives a wine that is “pure poetry”.
To get a superior wine we start from the vineyard by using eco-compatible treatments, trap-nests with pheromones, by thinning out the bunches, then we proceed in the cellar with a modern and innovative equipment such as the “Ganimede” patented tanks and the traditional wooden tuns, where the temperature is electronically controlled.
Last but not least, we complete the ageing in French oak, Slavonia oak and European mixed oak barrels and barriques , in order to obtain a strong wine, spicy but rounded, delicate, fruity, pleasant but above all …unique.
