Nocino di San Giovanni
It’s the end of June, the Vignamaggio hills shimmering as a gentle summer breeze caresses the vineyards, the blooming lavender, and the foliage of the walnut trees. And it’s these trees that we talk to you about today, because the walnut is the hero of a traditional liqueur prepared during the feast of Saint Giovanni […]
EVERY ROSE IN MAY IS A REVELATION

These plants are promptly replaced […]

DIY: VEGETABLE GARDEN LABELS
With Massimiliano’s help, we made some home-made vegetable garden labels, using only organic and recycled material. Labels for the garden make it easier to quickly identify the plant you are looking for, to mark the variety of squash you particularly liked the year before or to remind you, when you see those little leaves sprouting […]
EXTRAVIRGIN WHAT?
For our colleagues working on the farm, it’s a fixed appointment, punctually every year right after the grape vendemmia: the olive harvest.
