Tenuta di Paganico is an historic organic agricultural-zootechnic farm. Situated in the heart of the Maremma Toscana, not far from the medieval hamlet of Paganico and on the Montecucco DOC wine road.
The farm covers at present 1,500 hectares, dedicated to vineyard, olive groves, sowable land, all organically run and woods where Maremmana, Chianina and Limousine breed cattle are bred in the wild, along with Maremmano mares and Cinta Senese pigs. It is in the land of the Butteri, where man’s intervention blends with the harmoniously wild landscape, that our organic products come to life: extra virgin olive oil “I Bandi”, DOC Montecucco red wine “I Bandi”, meat, charcuterie, legumes, cereals, flours as well as firewood, coal and cork.
Guests can be accommodated in the centre of the Tenuta, “La Fattoria”, which has always been the owner’s home and the heart of all activities. Not far, plunged in nature, the Podere (Farm) “I Roggeti”, once occupied by a family of sharecroppers, which has been renovated and made into flats, each renamed to evoke the activities that they once housed: Il Mandriolo, La Tinaia, L’Oleario, La Caciaia and La Colombaia.
Everyday life on the farm is open to the guests, who can participate to vintage, olive picking, go horse riding, experience educational rides, work with the cattle, and join the Butteri in their activities. You can also discover the wildlife on the banks of River Ombrone, on foot or by bike, experience the secrets of Maremmano cooking and of bread making, taste wines and products from the territory, attend basketry classes and enjoy a massage surrounded by Tuscany’s enchanting nature. |
