Originally this castle was one of the oldest
outposts on the Etruscan road connecting Volterra and Fiesole, overlooking the valley of
Greve in Chianti in the wine county of the same name, 30 kilometers from Florence. |

Documents exist
dating back to the year 1000 which mention the donation of the castle to a nearby abbey. |

During the
centuries it was owned by the Capponi family and was then used as a military headquarters
during the wars between Florence and Siena.. |

The remnants of
the castle have now been fully restored by owners Roberto
and Christine Zecca and stand as a splendid example of medieval architecture.
