[Road indications]

The farm Fattoria di Bagnolo is situated in the municipality of Impruneta, not far from Florence. From its marvellous location, on the top of a hill at 220 m, you have a splendid view over the hills of the Chianti. The Fattoria di Bagnolo is certainly the farm of the Bartolini Baldelli family which produces most wines. The position on a sunny and ventilated hill, the special micro-climate and the geological structure, enhance the characteristics of the autochthonous vines and olive trees. As a matter of fact, since remote times, the products grown in Impruneta have always been known for their quality.


Our wines and extra virgin olive oil, today famous in many parts of the world and considered among the best by the food guides, are appreciated by gourmets.
The farm dates back to 1419, when it was called "Al Fonte". It belonged to the Machiavelli family from 1458 to 1485. In 1811 Bartolommeo Bartolini Baldelli, counsellor to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, fell in love with this property and wanted to purchase it for his summer holidays, thanks to its magnificent Villa from the 16th century. The complex was recently restructured carefully in order to not change the historical building, though adding the necessary modern equipment to be able to continue to produce products of high qualities. Together with the modern wine cellar for the wine production, you find the ancient cellar from the 16th century under the Villa.


Today the farm features 5 hectares of vines, producing a wine with the mark Indicazione Geografica Tipica (Typical Geographic Indication), 5 hectares of vines with the mark Chianti Colli fiorentini DOCG ( the changes in the wine production carried out during the last years have added to the traditional Sangiovese and Colorino grapes, grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot), and 6327 olive trees. The farm is part of the European program for the reduction of chemical substances in the agriculture.
