Tuscany has always been a land of great Wines and great Oils... ...not at all "Chianti" is the spark that lights up all over the world the hearts of lovers of the good Cuisine.
And it is right passion for the Land, for good Wine and for Olive Oil that in 1935 led the brothers Carlo and Alberto Galardi, descendants of a family of Florentine merchants, to buy the estate of Poggiopiano.
Mauro is still keen to tell the family management, the desire to do and to be able to build, the commitment to maintain traditions while taking due consideration of all the improvements related to the progress in the wine and olive oil extraction fields, which characterized these years. His plan gives other people the opportunity to share his passion: the land and its fruits, Wine and Oil; to bring joy to those who seek for the tranquility and serenity of the countryside. The same conviction of his predecessors guides Mauro in this project: the pursuit of quality. And like them, he is constantly studying an searching for technological innovations. The traditional family passion for mechanics and his scientific training have been and continue to represent the indispensable complement and support in the realization of his project.
Agriturismo Fattoria di Poggiopiano
The stay in a farmhouse inn allows tourists to relax in pristine environments, to observe closely nature and to discover the genuine and healthy taste of the Tuscan cuisine.
During the renovation of the farmhouse and the barn, as in the construction of the "small Tavern", used as a breakfast room, the goal has always been to create an as healthy as possible environment, in harmony with the environment and respecting the surrounding habitat. Where possible, the basic lines of green building have been followed, involving the use of natural materials and energy–saving systems. Hot water is produced by solar panels and a photovoltaic system on the new winery of the farm produces electricity, with net metering.
Poggiopiano is the place where you will find lots of tranquility, fascinating views of the landscape and a strong appeal to nature and simplicity: you can meet deer, hares, wild boars, squirrels, you can see hawks circling in the sky and fireflies shine in the warm summer evenings. It is the ideal place to get away for a while!
