Historic Tuscan estate that combines winemaking (Carmignano, Chianti Montalbano), extra virgin olive oil production, and wine tourism and hospitality centered on the Villa Medicea La Ferdinanda.
Tenuta di Artimino has its roots in a landscape marked by Etruscan remains and a medieval history. At its center stands the Villa Medicea "La Ferdinanda", designed by Buontalenti for Ferdinando I de' Medici. Over time the villa and estate have become a place of agricultural production and hospitality, with the villa recognized among the Medici Villas inscribed by UNESCO.
Production philosophy
Dedicated to promoting the territory and Tuscan tradition, the estate adopts an approach that combines quality, sustainability and innovation: attention to the terroir, vineyard zoning studies and the promotion of wine tourism to convey the connection between wines, olive oil and the landscape.
Terroir and vineyards
The property extends across the hills between Carmignano and Chianti Montalbano. Official information cites the estate's overall extent and the presence of vineyards and olive groves on the Montalbano, with varied soils and a microclimate favorable to the area's typical viticulture.
