Frascole estate panorama

The family home on the Frascole estate is bustling with the likes of three active children, two dogs, multitudes of friends and family. The cellars and their barriques hold the prize of their organic farming, 100 % Sangiovese based Chianti Rufina, while their olive trees produce some of the finest extra virgin organic olive oil that we have ever tasted.

The order of the day is simplicity and honesty - there is an understated elegance to the life that they lead. Their wines speak of purity, and the hospitality with which the wines are served is exemplary

The estate is located in Dicomano, a small village north of Florence. The farm covers an area of 98 hectares, partly located on the valley floor where they grow peaches and plums, and partly on the hill where they cultivate vineyards and olive groves.

Enrico and Elisa Lippi created their farm because of their passion for agriculture, which has been handed down from generation to generation in their family.

The farm centre is the holding Vico, where the produce the "'Frascole" Chianti wine Rufina DOCG, as well as Vin Santo and extra virgin olive oil.

Vico is located on the hill of Frascole (at about 400 m above sea level), which dominates the town Dicomano and is an important archaeological area of the Etruscan period. Vico consists of a small complex of buildings dating back to the Middle Ages that are surrounded by vineyards (covering about 15 ha) and olive groves.
