The history
Documents mentioning the Gagliole Estate date back hundreds of
years and there are countless ancient legends regarding this property,
which continues to conserve a memory of a distant time. A manuscript
in the State Archives in Siena reveals that Langobard King Berengarius,
who had fallen in love with the Tuscan countryside, bequeathed the
Gagliole Estate to his son Hildebrand in 994 A.D.
The passing of centuries did no harm to the beauty of this estate
which preserves the special character of this unique landscape.
