Poderi Arcangelo is nestled in the picturesque hills of San Gimignano, with roots dating back to the early 1900s. Founded by Giuseppe Mora, who moved from the Marche region in search of a better life, the winery began with a modest vineyard of just one hectare known as “Podere dell’Arcangelo.” The Mora family’s dedication to winemaking has been unwavering ever since. In the 1980s and 1990s, Bruno Mora revitalized the vineyards, passionately cultivating native grape varieties such as Sangiovese and Vernaccia di San Gimignano. Today, Poderi Arcangelo spans 23 hectares of specialized vineyards and 1,800 olive trees, all managed organically. Sandra Mora and her son Alberto continue the family tradition, producing around 140,000 liters of wine annually, including a selection of 90,000 bottles across ten labels, featuring white, red, rosé, and sparkling wines. A highlight of their offerings is the pure Vernaccia "PerBruno," crafted in terracotta amphorae and dedicated to the founder. Since 2000, the winery has been committed to ecological practices, being one of the first in the area to achieve organic certification. With a 50 kW photovoltaic system and a wastewater treatment system using phytodepuration, Poderi Arcangelo is dedicated to sustainability. The winery also features three beautifully restored farmhouses that provide guests with a serene retreat and a taste of authentic Tuscan cuisine. Visitors can savor traditional dishes made from organic farm products, such as homemade pasta, ribollita, and the famous Florentine steak, all paired with the estate's wines. Guests can enjoy guided tours of the winery, hiking along the Via Francigena, or horseback riding nearby. Poderi Arcangelo is recognized as one of the most cherished agriturismos in Tuscany, offering a perfect blend of wine, food, and nature for an unforgettable experience in the Chianti region near San Gimignano.

Write a reviewWe’ve been there for 2 years in a row in the summer and definitely going for third time also. Beautiful location, great pool and super friendly staff with the cutest dog in Tuscany. Good homemade meals for dinner. (Wine is even better) (Saturday visits have wine tastings also) Yes it’s a little dated and may not be as fancy but that adds to the charm of the old farmhouse.

We spent New Year's Eve in this excellent structure. Enchanting panoramic position. Impeccable welcome and service thanks to the friendly, impeccable and helpful owner and staff. The location is cared for in detail and constantly kept in order. Excellent cuisine with Tuscan traditions. More than positive experience.

A real paradise. We stayed 3 days half board I must say that we were more than satisfied. Unique panoramic view. The dishes presented at dinner were excellent where you will definitely not stay hungry including dessert and vin santo. We had the opportunity to participate in the free tasting on Saturday where the girls who served us and illustrated the history of the various wines and oil were complete in all the explanations. I also had the opportunity to buy their products, including wine also tasted at the tasting and the dressing oil found every evening at dinner. Super complete breakfast for all tastes from savory to sweet with products made by them. Small but clean room and just right for two people where everything necessary fit, comfortable bed and I even found extra pillows (in case there was also a blanket). Extreme tranquility, it had been months since I had slept so well 😂 Thank you for helping to make this stay relaxing for us. We will definitely recommend ❤️

In the splendid landscape of the Tuscan hills I stayed unfortunately for a few days in this beautiful structure. Excellent breakfast and dinner and I really enjoyed the wine tour with the tasting of their wines and oil. The pool area was also very beautiful where I spent some nice moments of relaxation. Thanks to all the staff for the kindness and care they dedicated to me.

I stayed here with my family for a short vacation in the Tuscan hinterland, something we usually do every year. The location in which the agriturismo is immersed is a little corner of paradise, overlooking 360 degrees of the splendid hills of Chianti. The real gem is the infinity pool, one of the most beautiful positions I have seen so far in my overnight stays in Tuscany. The place is kept in perfect order, very clean and with attention to detail. The staff is kind and helpful. The wine they produce is very good, which we also bought on departure. Unfortunately, some small cons: it would be advisable to think about luggage storage for customers who, for any personal needs, arrive before check-in. A structure of this type can afford it and would greatly increase customer loyalty. My bed in the room, although it was clean and had beautiful panoramic windows, was decidedly short: I am 1.80 m tall and I had to curl up to sleep. Finally, we expected more from the food during dinner: it would have been nicer to find ourselves in front of a greater variety of typical Tuscan foods. On the second evening we were presented with pasta “al pesto” and cherry tomatoes. It so happened that we were Ligurians, and that, unfortunately, was anything but pesto, but only chopped basil. I think that the best thing in this case is to focus on the gastronomic territory of belonging, and not dare to go outside of it, risking then to make dishes that are not up to the level of other traditions. Overall, it was still an excellent stay, with some sides, as I said, truly excellent.
