Built around a sumptuous 18th‑century villa just 10 kilometers from the city center, the estate dates its roots to an 11th‑century fortress known as Quona Castle; only its imposing tower survived successive conflicts, earning the property its name. Since 1935 it has been in the hands of the Rossi di Montelera family—founders of Martini \u0026amp; Rossi—who have treated the estate as both a family seat and a serious winemaking project, recently replanting vineyards and refurbishing centuries‑old cellars to produce wines that echo the tradition of the Colli Fiorentini while speaking clearly to the modern palate.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThe vineyards blanket about\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e15–20 hectares in the Chianti Colli Fiorentini DOCG, planted at roughly 350 meters above sea level on diverse, limestone‑rich soils that run from clay to calcareous marl.
