Monte Amiata

Monte Amiata

Approx. 50km from the Tenuta Fattoria Vecchia

Monte Amiata forms part of the provinces of Grosseto and Siena and towers over the surrounding valleys from a height of 1,738 metres.

You can explore the woods and forests on foot or by bike to discover the multitude of plants and animals the region has to offer and enjoy relaxing in the pursuit of nature and enchanting panoramas: Amiata is actually a lone peak meaning that on clear days you can see hundreds of kilometres away.

Monte Amiata is also home to an array of traditional produce: the lower part of the region is characterized by its vineyards and olive groves, while the higher part is home to produce from the subsoil, in particular chestnuts that have already been granted PDO certification and mushrooms (in the process of acquiring PGI certification). There are many local festivals and festivities all year round that pay homage to these products.

For sports lovers, there are various winter and summer sports facilities.

One comment on “Monte Amiata

  1. In primavera e in estate le verdure, in autunno le verdure e gli ortaggi vengono serviti sott olio. Dalla primavera all autunno la frutta e fresca come la mela gerbona che cresce nella cintura del monte Amiata a quota 1100 mt. ai rigori dell inverno si offrono le marmellate, il miele e le caldarroste. Nel periodo natalizio e pasquale si degusta la carne di agnello e capretto, negli altri periodi i salumi, dal capocollo alla cinta senese. In determinati periodi di apertura della caccia perche no, delle pappardelle al cinghiale. In tavola le ricette si incontrano tra pici all aglione , piatto seggianese, agli spaghetti alla carborana piatto romano.
