'The working farm " Tenuta Poggio alla Farnia"
in Fauglia, Pisa has 10 hectors of land on the pisan hills.
The land is made up from red, stony soil. The position and
soil are fundamental quality necessary for the vines growing
there. The farm produces wine and oil. FARNIETO ROSSO is a
mix of grapes from San Giovese di Montepulciano, Cannaiolo,
Cherry and Malvasia. |
| FARNIOLO BIANCO is based on Malvasia and Trebbiano.
The wine is still made according to local tradition and customs
following the fermentation of the grapes. We have a good table
wine, Farniolo, ruby coloured with a rounded, full taste.
This wine best accompanies traditional, tasty meat dishes.
White Farniolo has a classic hay and amber colour, with a
delicate flavour and malvasia perfume |

This wine is a perfect accompaniment
to fish or when chilled, becomes a refreshing summer drink.
FAERNIELLO is a rosé that boasts a high alcohol content and
is only a limited quantity is produced yearly. It made from
red wine that has been fermented for 45 days at a controlled
temperature, it has a bright red colour and is a good wine
to be enjoyed before and after meals, with antipastos and
sweets. The oil that we make here is all done by hand. The
olives fall onto nets around the bushes so that they don't
hit the ground. The olives are called Lecci, Razzi and Pendolino. |
| 'The juice is made using the cold method and
due to its level of acidity is perfect for bruschetta and
eating raw on salads. The fields yield artichokes, tomatoes,
and many other vegetables; we also grow our own potatoes.
When Paola cooks them, they're great and everybody wants them!
The bees make our honey in various flavours. We also make
our own white Grappa from our vineyards. The hen farm grantees
that our chicken and eggs are always genuine and fresh |
