Pèppoli

In 1379, when the Guelphs were defeated by the Ghibellines, the nearby monastery of Badia a Passignano was partially destroyed and later abandoned. Its extensive properties, including Tenuta Pèppoli, were divided among Florentine noble families. The first owners were the Gondi family and then the Cerchi family who built a small elegant chapel dedicated to their ancestor Saint Umiliana in the sixteenth century. The chapel has been recently restored to its original splendor. Marchesi Antinori has owned the Peppoli estate since 1985, the year of their 600th anniversary of the family’s winemaking business. The Vallombrosian monks have cared for the vineyards since the Middle Ages.
