Our History

The timeless charm of the Villa originates in the II century, when the owner was Marcus Peconius. Its name, inspired by “Pacho,” the Etruscan god of wine, reveals a deep and ancient connection to this land and its winemaking tradition. A bond that expresses centuries of passion for the vine and its precious fruit.
Over the centuries, the Villa passed to different owners, but each family that lived here has left an indelible mark.
In the Middle Ages, the Ricoveri family built a fortified palace with a majestic tower that, even today, stands out in the sky as a witness to centuries of history.
However, the current appearance of the Villa is ascribed to the Gualtieri family, an important lineage of poets, cardinals, and winemakers who bought it in the Renaissance and then assigned it to the Order of St. Stephen. 
In the XIX century, after the invasion of Arezzo by the Napoleonic troops, the Villa was confiscated and auctioned, and subsequently bought by the Ubertini family, a noble family from Arezzo whose most famous exponent was Guglielmo degli Ubertini, the leader of Aretine soldiers in the great “Battle of Campaldino” against Florence.
At the beginning of the last century, the Bucchi family further developed the cultivation of oil and vines, planting the oldest vines that are still on the property today.
In 1992, the farmhouse was bought by the Luzzi family. The famous neurologist Saverio, together with his family, has brought the property back to its former glory through an accurate and meticulous renovation. He decided to carry on the wine production, focusing on the high quality of the product. As a doctor, his goal is to reconcile historical tradition and innovation through a scientific approach to winemaking.
