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.
