Description

Fattoria Calappiano, in Vinci, the territory of Montalbano represents a historical and architectural treasure of the De’Medici family of Florence. Built around 1500, it was commissioned by the Grand Duke Francesco I De’Medici and was one of the first examples of a Tuscan Farmhouse featuring wine-growing operations. The Farmhouse was later passed on to A. H. Savage Landor, grandchild of Walter Savage Landor, Shakespeare’s biographer. Inside the farmhouse there are still paintings of distant civilizations, antique finds and memorabilia of his many travels in the East. Today the farm is owned by the Sensi family. It is a place that encompasses the history, tradition and passion for discovery and travel, characteristics very close to the philosophy of the company, which with a careful eye and respectful of the past, fond of art and beauty, looks forward to innovating and improving with a modern and international approach.
