Business Description
|
The estate, now property of the Zonin family, is dominated by the historic Abbazia Monte Oliveto, which was built by Olivetan monks in 1340. The land around the abbey includes 18 hectares (37 acres) of vineyards, all planted in Vernaccia of San Gimignano. The wine made from that variety was already famous in the lifetime of Dante Alighieri.
In addition, there is an olive orchard containing central Tuscany's most highly prized varieties: Frantoio, Moraiolo and Leccino. Situated in an enchanting position, the estate, wich is especially suited to the cultivation of vines and olives, commands a spectacular view of the towers of San Gimignano.
