IL NOSTRO TERRITORIO
More than a simple translation of ‘territory’, Territorio is a sense of place that encompasses landscape, culture, people, traditions and activities. We like to think we are part of our Territorio and we can help you to enjoy all it has to offer.
Our part of Territorio Toscana is 4 hectares of land in the heart of Chianti, just 28km north of Siena. Our podere sits amongst vines, olives and bosco (forest) at the intersection of wild Tuscany and the rolling fields of the Crete Senese.
This area has been a crossroads for millennia and history is visible. Here Etruscans built a civilisation, Guelphs and Ghibellines fought over castles and medieval farmers developed the agriculture that defines the landscape today.
​
Fast forward to the 21st century and our comune of Gaiole in Chianti was named by Forbes magazine as one of the most liveable places in the world. We think so too. Through a process of discovery and hard work we are slowly uncovering the soul of our territorio and infusing it with a bit of us.
CHI SIAMO
Rebecca and Marc are a husband and wife team who have bounced around the world working on projects related to architecture, cities and sustainability.
