Torre a Cona has a long and distinctive history. Records show the property began in 1066. Though the buildings of the property have been destroyed many times in wars, the tower, which was added in the 12th century, has remained standing. During WWII the property and buildings were used by the British as a hospital and the tower and main building were used to protect some of Italy’s greatest treasures such as statues by Michelangelo and Donatello. The estate produces a couple of Chianti Colli Fiorentini that are stellar. The estate has one 14ha vineyard and produces about 6300 cases of wine annually. These wines are elegant, lifted, fresh with spice and pure, clean dark cherry fruit.
