THE FARM

The farm is geographically located on the edge of a large valley crossed by streams that descend from the nearby promontories including Monte Amiata which is located behind the farmer and which favor the creation of a favorable microclimate for the cultivation of cereals, fodder, but also of olive trees and vines. Cultivated crops also allow the breeding of bees for the production of honey.

The family has been working in agriculture for 8 generations and it was grandfather Gino who bought the property from the Maremma Authority which assigned the farms to the old sharecroppers.

In 2008, Luca, the current owner of the company, took over from his father Giuseppe. Since then, economic and strategic maneuvers have been necessary to improve the business plan.

The company has a shop for direct sales. Among these you can find the flours and pasta of spelled T. dicoccum and durum wheat Senatore Cappelli. Both cereals have anti-inflammatory properties capable of promoting the reduction of intestinal inflammation and gluten intolerances.

PASTA SHAPES

Among the pasta shapes produced there are: penne, paccheri, fusilli, linguine, pappardelle and the very tasty Pici.
Pici are part of traditional Valdorcian cuisine combined with simple but tasty sauces. Delicious with crumbs and excellent with aglione sauce.

Pearled spelt is an excellent product for a healthy diet, in fact it has a low glycemic index and seems to be a good ally against cholesterol.

Extra virgin olive oil is produced on the farm’s historic olive groves with traditional Tuscan cultivars: Moraiolo, Correggiolo, Leccio del Corno and Olivastra.

A farm excellence is Moraiolo extra virgin olive oil with a strong, fruity taste, rich in polyphenols that give it a beautiful color that recalls the hills of our valley.

The olive harvest, an event that gathers the whole family, is still practiced today by manual picking and the olives are delivered the same evening of the harvest to keep the degree of acidity very low to produce an excellent extra virgin olive oil.

Beekeeping has always been a family passion and today the wildflower honey that is harvested is of excellent organoleptic and nutritional quality.
