[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Tuscany is a region of large estates, but even in such\u00a0context Barbialla is notable for its expansiveness. Close\u00a0to 2,000 acres (800 hectares) in size, the estate sprawls\u00a0over a territory in which three historic Tuscan provinces\u00a0come together and join. Barbialla is at the extreme western\u00a0edge of the province of Florence. Just to the north lie the\u00a0township of San Miniato, a fortress town in the lower\u00a0Arno valley. To the south, is San Gimignano, home to\u00a0an impressive number of perfectly preserved towers which\u00a0attract, in addition to the fine wine and the surrounding\u00a0saffron fields, hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.\u00a0Pisa is 48 miles (77 kilometers) to the west of the estate\u00a0and Siena virtually at the same distance to the south.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” css=”.vc_custom_1517504375029{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1212″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1517504380458{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
