The host's philosophy
Tenuta di Spannocchia is a historic 444-hectare Tuscan farm committed to certified organic farming since 1994, preserving heritage breeds such as the Cinta Senese pig raised free-range in the forests. The estate operates on a closed cycle, producing its own olive oil, traditional preservative-free salumi and wines, while hosting international educational programmes through the NGO Friends of Spannocchia.
