Our History

Podere Collalto’s story begins in the summer of 1944, in the hills of Tuscany, just after the fighting of World War II had passed through the region. One evening, an American soldier, searching the countryside for red wine, arrived in a small village near Siena and wandered into a liberation celebration. There, he met a young Italian woman. It was, by all accounts, love at first sight. Against the backdrop of a recovering country, they married the following year, in 1945, with the entire village gathered to celebrate.

In the years that followed, their life continued abroad, but Tuscany was never far away. The language, the food, and the rhythm of life remained part of the family, passed down through generations. For their son, Robert Buly, the connection became something deeper. A lifelong dream to return and create a place of his own in the land where his parents’ story began.

That dream became reality in 2006, when he discovered Podere Collalto, a hilltop farm in Trequanda. Drawn by its sweeping views, ancient olive groves, and the promise of the land, he set out to restore not just a property, but a legacy. A vineyard was planted in 2008, rooted in the traditions of the region while embracing a thoughtful, modern approach to winemaking.

Today, Podere Collalto remains a family-owned estate. A place where past and present meet, and where guests are invited to experience the same sense of beauty, connection, and quiet magic that first brought this family to Tuscany.

Meet The Owner

Robert Buly

Raised in the United States by his Italian mother, he grew up between two worlds . Summers spent near Siena, Italy, instilled an early love for the land, its culture, and its traditions.

He went on to build a distinguished career as an orthopedic surgeon at leading New York institutions, yet the idea of creating something of his own in Tuscany never faded. After years of searching, he discovered Podere Collalto in 2006, a hilltop estate that felt immediately familiar.

With a background in plant science and a deep respect for traditional winemaking, Robert planted the vineyard in 2008, laying the foundation for what would become Buli Limestone Wines, a project rooted in both heritage and precision. Today, the organically farmed vineyard produces award-winning wines, crafted with a balance of Tuscan tradition and modern technique, and shaped by the unique limestone soils of the region.

Today, Podere Collalto is a place meant to be shared. What began as a personal dream has become a home where family and friends gather, where long meals stretch into the evening, and where guests are welcomed to experience a slower, more connected way of life in Tuscany.
