If you google "siena agriturismo" there's lots more, including Tripadvisor reviews. I'm interested in this area, too but have never been, so no first hand recommendations....
If you're looking for an agriturismo, I can recommend Agriturismo Marciano, in Siena (10 min from the city wall). It was an INCREDIBLE experience! The farmhouse is quaint, comfortable & clean! It's a working organic olive & grape farm. They make olive oil & wine. The rates were very reasonable & my husband & I agreed that we would have paid a lot more for such a great experience. The owners are very friendly & helpful. On our first night, they offered us a glass of wine & they sent us home with a little bottle of their wine which was very nice of them. Breakfast is very nice & is served around the farmhouse table which gave us a nice opportunity to socialize with the other guests. They offer dinners a few nights a week which are all home cooked with many fresh ingredients from their farm. They pair each course with their wines and again we had a nice time meeting other guests (mostly from the U.S. but also from other parts of Europe). We were lucky enough to eat dinner there twice and those were the 2 best dinners of our trip! Everything about the agriturismo was great. They gave us a tour of the vineyard & the wine cellar & gave us sightseeing tips every morning. They could not have been more accommodating or gracious. My only regret is that we couldn't stay there longer. Good luck and happy travels. The web site is:
