The Tuscan farming tradition is full of strong, simple and honest flavours.
A fundamental part of the Country Resort estate is our farm which supplies us with the fresh milk, butter, cheeses, salami, fruit, vegetables and herbs we serve at our tables. All our products are natural and healthy. The Montelucci Farm covers 120 hectares of varied terrain, ranging from woods to grazing grounds, to vineyards, to olive terraces.
AS GENUINE AS THE LAND
WE LOVE GOOD FOOD - THAT’S WHY WE TAKE GOOD CARE OF OUR LAND
Our farm is organic and biodynamic and uses traditional Tuscan agricultural techniques which respect the natural growing seasons. All our vegetables come from our vegetable garden and are only harvested when they are ready to be brought fresh to our restaurant.

Let us take you back to the land and show you the practices and values that were once a part of farming everywhere and are still preserved at Montelucci.
CHIANTI D.O.C.G.
Our vineyard, which is part of the Chianti Consortium, is 35 years old. We have Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Trebbiano and Malvasia Bianca grapes. We have chosen traditional indigenous varieties which is unusual for Italian winemakers. Our best grapes are reserved for the production of our certified Chianti Wine (DOCG).
EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
The olive harvest is at the beginning of October. We only harvest by hand and collect the olives in large sheets. Within hours of being picked our olives are cold pressed in Arezzo . Our yearly yield is around 3000 kg of top quality oil. We only bottle the finest oil. The health benefits of olive oil are wildly known, especially when, as for our oil, the polyphenol content is high and the acidity is low.
