Castello di Uzzano

The castle features a Renaissance facade with white plaster and pietra serena double columns, incorporating remnants of a rectangular medieval watch tower.

In 1269, the Ghibellines reduced Uzzano to a smaller fortress by removing its towers and walls, leading to subsequent restorations in the 14th century.

The property includes an 18th-century Italianate garden with a double staircase design and decorative statues reflecting regional architectural traditions.

The castle's former furnishings were sold at Christie's in 1999 for $3.5 million, with the current wine production operating independently from the historical property.

The structure contains sandstone blocks arranged in consistent rows that serve as evidence of ancient fortifications designed by Andrea di Cione.
