Our
family owned, country estate Terraio is located in the heart of
Tuscany, quite near to Florence in the parish of Empoli and just
outside the tiny village of Monterappoli.
The
working farm extends for a good 800 acres, over gentle hills, and
on the banks of waters that divide the Valdarno and Valdelsa
vallies. Cultivating mainly vineyards and olive groves, we offer a
select production of good Chianti wine and excellent Tuscan, extra
virgin olive oil. Set amidst this landscape, close to the very
heart of the farm, and neighbouring our historical family home
Villa Terraio, is the family run ranch Il Terraio, where we
successfully breed Quarter Horses.
The
ranch stretches over an area of 20 acres and boasts 10 very large
paddocks, 46 stables, a 20m diameter covered round arena, and two
outdoor arenas of 40 x 60m and 20 x 40m respectively.
