Fattoria San Michele a Torri

San Michele a Torri Farm, organic since 1993, is located in the heart of Chianti, 15 km away from Florence. It takes its name from a village of the same name and is situated on a beautiful hill at the gates of Florence, from which one can admire the wonderful Tuscan landscape rich in vineyards, olive groves, and woods. It extends over 1113 hectares of land, straddling the wine regions of Chianti Colli Fiorentini and Chianti Classico, of which 90 hectares are cultivated with vineyards, 140 hectares with olive groves, and the remaining area with arable land, woods, and the breeding of Cinta Senese pigs. Chianti Colli Fiorentini DOCG, Chianti Classico DOCG and extra virgin olive oil have always been produced. In recent years, small productions such as DOP Cinta Senese cold cuts, meat, eggs, vegetables, bread, legumes, honey, jams, flours, etc. have been added to these traditional products. Since 1993, the company has been certified organic. For the farm, the use of only natural products, the respect for biological balances, and biodiversity are the foundation of an agriculture that is respectful of the environment and people, capable of producing food of the highest quality: healthy, guaranteed, and certified. Organic does not just mean adhering to production regulations; it is exactly the corporate philosophy of Fattoria San Michele in Torri. In 2007, a photovoltaic system was installed for the production of electricity, and in 2011, a biomass plant was established. An important certification, EQUALITAS, has recently been obtained, promoting and safeguarding a broader concept of sustainability. Experiences San Michele a Torri offers different experiences.
