Estate and Winery for Sale in Italy – Calabria Vineyard Estate
This estate and winery for sale in Italy is located in the hills of Calabria, between the Tyrrhenian and Ionian coasts, in a panoramic position near Lamezia Terme. The property extends across 60.1 hectares and includes a historic 19th-century villa, a modern winery, additional agricultural buildings, and 27 hectares of productive Calabria IGT vineyards. The location, at 500–700 metres above sea level, provides ideal conditions for wine production and offers clear views toward both seas and the Aeolian Islands.
Set close to major transport routes, the estate lies 25 km from Lamezia Terme and its international airport, with convenient access to the motorway and regional railway network. The property’s scale and layout make it suitable for large-scale wine production, hospitality projects, agriturismo, or a mixed-use investment in wine tourism.
At the centre of the estate stands Villa Chimirri, a manorial residence dating from 1860. The villa (650 m²) requires complete restoration, and previous plans proposed a layout with an entrance hall, reception area, professional kitchen, restaurant, event rooms, and three panoramic suites connected by an internal lift. The building retains its neoclassical character and remains a strong candidate for conversion into a boutique hotel, resort, or events venue.
The modern winery facility spans more than 6,500 m² across two levels and is designed to integrate with the surrounding landscape. It includes production areas, stainless-steel vinification rooms, storage spaces, and bottling lines. A 1,300 m² barrel cellar has been carved directly into the rock, providing natural temperature control and environmental stability. Current annual output is up to 417,000 bottles, supported by both native and international grape varieties, including Magliocco, Zibibbo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Viognier, and Aglianico. The vineyards are planted mainly using spurred cordon, Guyot, and traditional sapling systems, with densities of approximately 6,000 vines per hectare.
In addition to the winery and villa, the estate includes further buildings totalling approximately 900 m², suitable for conversion into hospitality units, staff accommodation, tasting rooms, or event spaces. The remaining land consists of woodland, including cork forest, and fallow areas that can be adapted for agricultural expansion or outdoor visitor facilities.
Thanks to steady wine production, international distribution across North America, Europe, and parts of Asia, and strong tourism potential, this Calabria winery for sale represents a substantial investment opportunity for buyers seeking an Italian vineyard estate with established production and scope for significant development in hospitality, events, and wine tourism.
