Who we are
About the farm
Below the castle of Ripa d'Orcia in the Val d'Orcia we farm the land as a family business; the estate has belonged to the Piccolomini heirs since 1484 and today is run by Filippo Rossi. We farm 6 hectares of vineyards, 11 hectares of olive groves (Correggiolo, Leccino, Moraiolo) and 70 hectares of arable land (mainly spelt and durum wheat), while half of our land is woodland in the Ripa d'Orcia nature reserve. We release our wines (Vermentino, Sangiovese, Syrah, Merlot, Vin Santo) only after long ageing, and we also make extra virgin olive oil. Visits to the farm are by appointment only.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
