Asciano 50 - Estate

Tuscan countryside

Farming is the main activity carried out in the estate with full respect of the environment. Durum wheat, which is used in making the famous Italian pasta, is our main crop, followed by cereals for animal feeding, meadows for forage production and livestock pasturing; a small olive grove yields an excellent extra-virgin olive oil.

Cornfield

Stock farming – cattle for meat and sheep for milk – is another significant activity here and it is not unusual, walking through the estate, to see livestock out to pasture in the meadows. Within the farm there are natural truffle grounds, where in good years the prized white truffle is harvested.
