A Historic Wine Estate with Agriturismo in the Hills of Brisighella Located among the first hills of Brisighella, surrounded by its own vineyards and overlooking the Lamone valley, this historic estate combines a restored agriturismo, a private residence and a working winery within a landscape deeply connected to the identity of the territory. The property extends across approximately 560 sqm of total surface, including the main building and annexes, and is set within 7 hectares of owned and rented land, characterised by vineyards, fruit trees and open views across the surrounding hills. Outdoor spaces and areas designed for shared moments allow for a lifestyle that moves naturally between indoor living and the landscape, where evenings can be spent overlooking the vines with a glass of wine produced directly on the estate. The Main Building The complex, originally built from the 13th century around the church of San Nicola, has been carefully restored over time and today hosts both a private residence and an established agriturismo. The main building measures approximately 498 sq.m. and is organised into a private apartment and hospitality spaces. A defining characteristic of the interiors is the balance between tradition and contemporary living: while the external architecture preserves its historic identity, the interior spaces have been interpreted with a more modern approach, creating a refined contrast that enhances both elements without compromising the authenticity of the property. Ground Floor: The ground floor hosts both the private residence and part of the hospitality areas, organised around a clear and functional layout. The main guest entrance opens into a shared entrance hall. From here, directly ahead lies the former deconsecrated church, now used as the main dining and breakfast area, which also benefits from its own independent external access. The adjacent sacristy functions as a back-of-house space supporting the culinary activities and is directly connected to the kitchen of the private residence. To the right of the entrance hall, near the laundry area serving the private residence, the layout unfolds into the independent guest apartment. This unit benefits from its own separate external entrance and is composed of a living and dining area with kitchenette, together with a bedroom and bathroom. The private apartment has its own independent entrance and opens into a living room. To one side, there is an additional living space currently used as a study, while on the opposite side the layout unfolds into the kitchen and dining area with fireplace, directly connected to the former sacristy. The private apartment also includes a laundry area, accessible via the shared entrance hall of the B&B and benefits from a private cellar located on the basement level. First Floor: The first floor is divided between the private residence and the guest accommodation, maintaining a clear functional separation between the two areas. The private residence, through a staircase that leads from the living room to the sleeping area, opens into a spacious and multifunctional room that leads to the master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, creating a more intimate and self-contained living space. On the hospitality side, access is via the entrance hall, from which a few steps lead to the upper level. Here, a living area with bathroom serves as a shared space for guests before opening into the sleeping quarters. From this space, the layout unfolds into two separate double bedrooms, both with private bathrooms. From the shared living area, a stunning metal staircase leads up to a mezzanine level hosting a spacious library, designed as a quiet and inviting space where guests can read and relax. The restoration and upgrading of the property were carried out in two distinct phases: the hospitality areas were completed in 2014, followed by the private residence in 2016. The structural intervention included reinforced foundations, perimeter ring beams and ventilated foundations, ensuring both stability and long-term durability, while preserving the original character of the buildings. The Annex The property also includes a separate dependance of 62 sq.m., which has been converted into an additional independent apartment: a charming studio apartment with a living area with kitchenette, a bedroom and a bathroom. The Winery A defining feature of the estate is the underground winery, built in 2019 and designed to both preserve the beautiful surrounding landscape and maintain natural temperature and humidity conditions throughout the year. The winery measures approximately 155 sq.m., comprising a 112 sq.m. production area together with an additional 43 sq.m. space currently used for tasting and guest use, including a bathroom. The layout includes a production area, a barrique room and technical spaces, offering the possibility to continue or further develop a wine production under a dedicated label, with an estimated capacity of up to 15,000 bottles per year. The property is served by mains water together with a phreatic well, ensuring a reliable water supply. The house is fully electric, with no gas connection, and features underfloor heating, together with air conditioning in the bedrooms. There is currently no photovoltaic system installed, although there is the potential to introduce one, subject to the necessary approvals. Additional features include a security alarm system, irrigation system, wooden window frames with double glazing and traditional shutters. The Land The estate extends over approximately 2 hectares of private land plus another 5 hectares that they have taken for rent, primarily dedicated to vineyards and agricultural land. The soil composition, together with the proximity to the Lamone river and the natural temperature variations, creates favourable conditions for viticulture. The vineyards are planted with local grape varieties such as Sangiovese, Trebbiano and Albana, alongside a small presence of Chenin Blanc in selected areas of the property. Outdoor spaces are designed to be lived and experienced, opening onto the surrounding landscape and allowing for moments that move naturally between the vineyard and the living areas. The layout of the land lends itself to hosting informal gatherings directly among the vines, from simple picnics to more structured outdoor dining setups, offering the possibility to experience the estate at sunset, immersed in the vineyard and the surrounding nature. The land also includes fruit trees and a vegetable garden, reinforcing the property’s strong connection to a self-sustained and authentic rural lifestyle. A swimming pool (12 x 3,5 meter), built above ground and removable, is located in front of the vineyard. The Location The estate is located on the first hills of Brisighella, an ancient medieval and thermal village set in the Lamone Valley, between Florence and Ravenna. Recognised among I Borghi più belli d’Italia and awarded distinctions such as the Touring Club’s Bandiera Arancione, Brisighella offers a rare balance between authenticity, quality of life and accessibility. The village is defined by its distinctive skyline of three rocky pinnacles ( the Rocca Manfrediana, the Sanctuary of Monticino and the Clock Tower), shaping a landscape deeply rooted in its past. The atmosphere is quiet and genuine, where stone paths, historic architecture and cultivated hills create a setting that feels preserved rather than staged. The area is strongly connected to its enogastronomic identity, with olive oil, wine and local produce forming an integral part of everyday life. The surrounding countryside, with its vineyards and walking paths, offers a landscape that can be experienced throughout the year, both actively and at a slower pace. The estate itself is within walking distance of the village centre, while the nearby railway station provides direct connections, including routes towards Florence, offering both convenience and long-term value for hospitality use. EPC Rating: ordered Why Buy It This property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a fully integrated estate where hospitality, private living and wine production coexist within a single, coherent setting. The presence of an established agriturismo, together with vineyards and a fully equipped underground winery, allows for the continuation or further development of a vitivinicultural and hospitality project, with activities such as tastings, cooking classes, foraging and small-scale dining naturally aligned with the character of the estate. At the same time, the configuration of the buildings offers a high degree of flexibility, making it possible to maintain a clear separation between private and guest areas or to convert the property into a fully private residence without significant structural intervention. The combination of a walkable location near Brisighella, strong enogastronomic identity, production potential and year-round appeal makes this estate not only a place to live, but a long-term asset capable of generating both lifestyle value and sustainable income.

The Main Building Extending to approximately 540 sq.m. over three floors, the principal farmhouse was completed in 2020 and reconstructed in accordance with the most advanced anti-seismic regulations.
