Historia

Castello di Querceto is a landmark of the Florentine Chianti Classico area, particularly loved by oeno-gastronomic passionates, thanks to the numerous wineries and to the local products typical of Tuscany cooking.  It is an ideal place to start daily trips to the wonderful Tuscany towns: Florence is only 25 km. far, Siena and San Gimignano about 45, Arezzo about 55. and Pisa about 105.
The castle is completely surrounded by the green Chianti hills, enclosed by vineyards and woods where you can relax walking in the shade of oak and chestnut threes.

 

The estate disposes of ten apartments. Some of them are located directly in the farm centre, very close to the medieval castle, with entrance from the old stone court where the wine shop, the offices and the ancient cellar face.
The other apartments have been built in an old country house with hayloft, at about 700 metres from the castle. The house is called “Le Giuncaie” as the vineyard skirting it.

Castello di Querceto is located in the northeastern side of the Chianti Classico area, in a small valley in the comune of Greve in Chianti.
This verdant area, thanks to its extraordinary beauty and to its central position, it is a strategic place to start visiting the historical Tuscany cities: Florence,  home of art and poetry, is only 25 km far from us. Full of renowned museums, churches, squares and ancient buildings, the town makes you breath its history simply walking through the handicraft-shops and the elegant outlets.
In about 45 km you are in Siena, located up on a hill and surrounded by the old boundary walls. From the walls the city develops in a tangle of lanes and alleys arriving to Piazza del Campo, the main square where twice a year takes place the famous medieval horse race “Palio”.

 

Arezzo, 55 kilometres far from us but very easy to reach, is one of the most ancient Tuscan towns, with its old traditions like the folkloristic fancy-dress game “Giostra del Saracino” in Piazza Grande, or the antiquarian market along the lanes of the old city, the gold artists’ creations and so on. Besides the historical sites, the whole Chianti Classico area is able to satisfy tourists’ expectations, thanks to the pure beauty of the green hills covered by vineyards, olive trees and woods. This region is full of thermal baths, romantic country houses, farms and villages inviting you to taste the local dishes with the famous wines in a complete relax.

Castello di Querceto is about 7 kilometres far from Greve in Chianti, at about 470 metres above sea level. Its land extends over 190 hectares: 60 are planted with vineyards, 5 with olive trees while the remaining are woods, mostly of oak and chestnut trees. In the bottom of the valley there is a little fishing lake.
 

The estate is developed around the castle and the winery, where the new and modern structures have been built respecting the style of the ancient buildings. Only a country house and its hayloft are separated from the main structure; both recently restored, they have been divided in several apartments for the agriturismo.

 

The vineyards and the olive-groves are located between 400 and 530 metres above sea level; for this reason they are considered high-hill fields. The geological nature of the ground is very particular, being part of the little area in northern side of the “Chianti Mountains”: it is composed of “polychrome-schists” dating back to the Cretaceous-Eocene period.
