Castello di Cacchiano

The Cacchiano Castle, built in the 10th century by the Ricasoli Firidolfi family, formed part of a series of fortifications which supported the Brolio Castle (3 km away) in the defense of the Florentine territories against the invasions of the Sienese republic.

Toward the end of the 15th century the walls of the castle were severely damaged, and when peace was declared in the middle of the 16th century, the manor was turned into a country residence and farming estate.

The estate is still personally run by the Ricasoli Firidolfi family, producing wine and olive oil from their own vineyards and olive groves and ,during the months of September and October, offers its guests the great opportunity of assisting at traditional harvesting activities.
