THE ENVIROMENT
Chianti Classico: The words themselves
recall unique landscapes, colours, fragrances and sounds typical
of the Tuscan lifestyle that has impressed men and women from all
over the world. The Chianti Classico countryside is one of the most
international and renowned places in the world. The little village
of Castelnuovo Berardenga is an important part of the Chianti Classico
area. In the tranquillity of the hills covered with oaks and cypresses
lie turreted castles, ancient churches and monasteries, little villages
and farms. Here the perfume of the vines and olive trees blends
with the beauty of the landscape
|
 On the western border of the township of Castelnuovo Berardenga
(also part of the western border of the Chianti Classico area) is
the extensive Tenuta of Monaciano. It lies on a 235 hectares hill, 300
metres high, only seven kilometres away from the historic center of
Siena, in an optimal position for wine- and olive oil-production,
as well as for the cultivation of corn and sunflowers. Chianti Classico
wine and olive oil is produced in Monaciano. |
| The proprietor’s villa, with a commanding view of the wonderful
Chianti countryside, is the heart of the estate. It is surrounded
by romantic and richly planted nineteenth century grounds of about
3 hectares. Here visitors can enjoy the relaxing atmosphere, walking
through tree-lined paths among statues, flower-beds, fountains and
grottos. The aviary, the peacock house, and the ancient lemon house,
frame a monumental greenhouse rich in a wide variety of exotic and
ornamental plants. The proprietor’s villa, now under restoration,
will offer guests elegant and charming holidays. |
