A fabled region of idyllic countryside and historic cities filled with art and culture, Tuscany continues to captivate the interest of global home buyers.
It represents all the finest the country has on offer: from olive groves, vineyards and cypress trees to lush and rolling hills. Tuscany’s cities are amongst the country’s most visited: Florence with its mighty Duomo, Pisa with its leaning tower, Siena with its grand central piazza and Lucca with its magnificent Renaissance city walls.
In essence, Tuscany remains a great investment because the desire to own a home here has never faded. The culture, the natural splendour, the food, the wine and the history cannot be beaten. It is a winning combination that continues to entice international buyers to Tuscan real estate.
Here is an opportunity to indulge in the wine and scenery that have become synonymous with Tuscany. Located in the area surrounding Lucca – which is amongst the most picturesque districts with its postcard-perfect hillside scenes, centuries-old olive orchards, vineyards and acacia woods – here is a superior Tuscany wine estate for sale beckoning the wise buyer.
The exceptionally beautiful Tuscany wine estate is a rare find, a place with all the attributes many buyers long for, such as an elegant historic residence, great wine and a scenic setting.
Lucca has its own variety of wines, such as those of Colline Lucchesi, an up-and-coming wine DOC region that overlooks this celebrated city. The vineyards are nestled in the foothills of the Apennine Mountains. Heavenly sites and fine limestone and sandstone soils provide excellent conditions for viticulture. The hills are also the source of red and white Colline Lucchesi wines in blended and varietal forms, both sweet and dry. The Lucca Hills rosso is made from Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo and Colorino grapes. A dry, delicate bianco is made from Trebbiano, Greco or Grechetto, Vermentino, and Malvasia grapes.
This historic and prestigious Tuscany wine estate is just 15 minutes from Lucca, and sits on nine hectares of private land, of which five hectares are planted in established vineyards. Those five hectares produce a range of grape varieties that includes Sangiovese, Merlot, Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo, Trebbiano Toscana, Greco, Vermentino Bianco, Malvasia del Chianti and Moscato d’Amburgo, which translate into five locally recognised wines suitable for establishing an international distribution network.
With its commanding facade, the luxurious main residence exhibits a world of sophistication combined with masterful design, exceptional quality and a gracious, quintessentially country lifestyle.
