hill, at an altitude of about 300 m.

olive groves and vineyards, crops favored by a microclimate
characterized by a constant ventilation and a strong thermal
excursion.
The olive grove is located in the highest part
of the property, with a over 5000 trees in production.
The vineyard only occupies the part suited to a
high quality production.

with cereals, such as wheat and barley, with a rotation of the
product types in accordance with a natural balance of the soil.
The farm declines towards a forested area
lapped by the Ente that washes a small piece of property
called Podere Molino, where an old farmhouse is surrounded
by wooded scrub and olive trees.
The forest is mainly composed of oaks and holm
oaks and the undergrowth is full of brooms, pittosporums,
viburnum and several examples of spontaneous tree species;
also it is the natural habitat of wild boars,
foxes, deer, squirrels, rabbits, pheasants, hares ...
Care of the forest area is subject to careful
maintenance and cutting plan.

with the punctuality of organic farming criteria, guaranteed and
certified by BioAgriCert thus ensuring to operators and guests of the
farm, an environment which respecs nature. |
