Description

Our Fattoria San Michele a Torri is located in the heart of Chianti, around 15 km from Florence. It takes its name from the village in which it stands, on a beautiful hill, from which you can admire the wonderful Tuscan landscape full of vineyards, olive groves and woods. 
It covers 600 hectares of lands (1482,63 acres), 65 hectares (160 acres) of vineyard (Chianti Classico Docg – Chianti Colli Fiorentini Docg- Igt Toscana), 65 hectares (160 acres) of olive three groves (we produce “Laudemio” extra virgin olive oil), 40 hectares (100 acres) of cereals and legumes cultivations, an area dedicated to our Cinta Senese breed pork (they live free range within the property) and woodland. 

Since 1993 the company has been certified ORGANIC.

We believe that the use of only natural products, respect for biological balances and biodiversity are the basis of an agriculture that respects the environment and people and is able to produce the highest quality food: healthy, guaranteed and certified.
Preferring the purchase of organic food and products with a low environmental impact is a conscious choice for a sustainable future.

It’s been a while since, in addition to wine, extra virgin olive oil and salami from Cinta Senese DOP porks, we added other small productions like: eggs (from our hens raised on the ground outdoors), vegetables from our garden, ancient grain bread, legumes, honey , compotes, spelt, flours etc ... These products have expanded the range of produces to offer to our customers while maintaining high quality and Tuscan tradition.

What drives us is love for the enviroment, passion and pleasure for good and well done things and we want to share all of it with you! 
This is why we organize tours and tastings of our products at our beautiful farm. During the tour, in addition to a presentation of our activities and philosophy, we show step by step all the stages of wine and olive oil production. We visit both the cellars with oak barrels and the orciaia where we keep our Extra Virgin Olive Oil and then... we taste!
