Producer

Az. agricola Ercolani Carlo e Marco

The company Ercolani Carlo and Marco was founded in 1988 in Montepulciano, in the heart of Tuscany. The passion for the land and its excellent products was passed on to the following generations, in great part thanks to grandfather Sergio who in the 60s laid the foundations of today’s activities.

Azienda agricola Ercolani Carlo e Marco has five different selling points in Montepulciano and Pienza: the Underground City, the Medici Cellars, The Cellars Tombesi, a shop in Pienza, and the Porta di Bacco which is the first modern selling point for the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.

“Since 1940, the history of the Ercolani family is the history winemakers. It is the story of someone who loves and knows the secrets of his own land.”

The Ercolani family loves its territory where the production follows the rhythm of the seasons and respects the ecological balance of the area. In addition the company places a high focus on the final product. This is shown by the choice of soils and crops, the quality and the safety standards, the analysis of the production processes, the control of the environment, as well as the importance given to the style of outlets, restaurants and wineries.

Over the years, the company has grown, acquiring new land and extending the production, while keeping a great focus and commitment on the authenticity of raw materials, the cultivation process and the traditional cuisine. Nowadays, the company relies on a strong organization and an experienced staff that takes care of the processing of approximately 150 acres of land, vineyards, crops, truffle, olive groves, catering and direct sale.

As grandfather Sergio says: “Everything is essential for the production of quality products.”

Grapes: Malvasia, white Trebbiano and Grechetto.  Vineyard: well exposed, located around the town of Montepulciano

at an altitude of about 400 meters above sea level in “Valardegna.”

Production phase: the thick must obtained from white Malvasia, Trebbiano and Grechetto grapes is left to dry for a period of four months on reeds in the historical company cellars. It gets sealed in small oak barrels along with “la Madre” and left there brewing and aging for 8 years. “La Madre”, the essential ingredient for the production of Vin Santo, was found in old XIX century casks in the ancient “Tombesi” palace in Montepulciano. In addition, these barrels contained a small amount of 1962’s VinSanto of exceptional quality, the product of “la Madre” that gave to the company the possibility to reproduce the same results after so many years.  Pouring and bottling phase: after eighth years of aging, the sweet must becomes vin santo. It is thus removed from the casks and is decanted in a traditional manner. After reaching a good clarity and obtaining the certification of DOC Vin Santo di Montepulciano, the Vin Santo is bottled and is ready to be enjoyed.

Description and pairing: amber color with intense and persistent aroma of dried fruit and nuts. Meditation wine, ideal with the famous Tuscan almond biscuits, dry desserts and tasty cheeses. Best served at room temperature.

Cheese Pecorino of Pienza

Producer

Fattoria Buca Nuova

Fattoria Buca Nuova has produced and sold the Pecorino of Pienza (Sheep’s milk cheese of Pienza) for generations. This is a speciality food which is known all around the world and which you can find only in the Orcia Valley, in Tuscany. The story of Fattoria Buca Nuova began in 1966 when, in order to start their own agro-pastoral activity, Cugusi Pietrino and his wife Mulas Maria Antonia - together with their six children - moved from Sardinia to an old rural farmhouse in Montepulciano, called “La Buca Nuova”. Respecting the Tuscan tradition and by using only Tuscan milk, the diary activity has been handed from father to sons and has preserved the ancient and peasant productive methods and traditions such as the use of morchia, walnut leaves and the immersion and maturation of cheese in the marc. Fattoria Buca Nuova boasts a wide variety of Pecorini

di Pienza which are different in terms of seasoning and properties, from Marzolino di Pienza to semi-mature Red Pecorino or to mature Gran Riserva Pecorino. These highquality sheep’s milk cheeses are realized with the care and patience which distinguish the Fattoria Buca Nuova working process. They can be tasted with Tuscan red wines as well as used for savoury and traditional dishes. During the years, Fattoria Buca Nuova has received many prizes for the tastiness and the quality of its own products: Premio Pienza 2013 for the Pecorino cheese of Val d’Orcia and of the crete senesi; Premio Sapori Senesi for the best Pecorino senese, as well as the 3rd edition of Pecorini d’Italia.

The red color of this cheese produced with sheep’s milk is due to its treatment. The “whole cheese” is manually smeared many times with olive oil and tomato sauce: this is one of the most ancient methods of food preservation. This is a typical process for a pecorino with a middle seasoning, which helps to maintain the taste of the chees, and makes its savour and scent stronger and sweet-smelling. This cheese has a strong scent and it is tasty. It goes very well with full-bodied and robust red wines. Ingredients Pasteurized sheep’s milk, cultures, rennet,

The deposit (morchia) is a thick layer that remains on the bottom of the earthenware pot after olive oil has been poured into it during the winter, from freshly squeezed olives, to be preserved and used until the end of the following year. In spring, the oil has already become limpid because the “dregs” have already settled. It is then poured and separated from the dregs - which the peasants used to spread over the whole form of the cheese (often being mixed in with the cinders), in order to create a natural crust, and allowing a long seasoning. Therefore, maintaining an even stronger taste and aroma. Ingredients Pasteurized sheep’s milk, cultures, rennet,

Marzolino is one of the most prestigious Tuscan cheese and has ancient origins. Today, as in the past, the cheese is produced with the sheep milk at the beginning of spring, when pastures offer the youngest and sweetest-smelling grass. In the past it was handmade by peasant women, who used squeezed the curd milk into typical oval shaped balls, that were then put out and dried on fir tree benches. The Marzolino tradition has been revived in the form of a particularly light cheese which preserves all scents of raw pastural herbs grown amongst tuscan hills during spring. Interesting stories link Marzolino´s name with historical events such as the wedding of Caterina de ‘Medici with Henry II of France. On that occasion, dated documents report that Caterina de ‘Medici brought with her “good olive oil, beans and marzolini.” Another interesting story concerns Cosimo de ‘Medici, in 1600, who sent as a gift to the Pope “vinsanti and marzolini.” The cheese can be served as an appetizier or as a dessert, and it goes well with red wines like the Red of Montepulciano and Montalcino. Ingredients Pasteurized sheep’s milk, cultures, rennet, salt. Seasoning: 10-20 days, 20-30 days if flavored with chili or truffle. Additives and preservatives: External treatment with preservative E203-E235.

The Tuscan peasants’ families used to preserve the shape of pecorino cheese by placing each one into an earthenware pot (locally termed “ziri”), after having first greased them with the sediments of olive oil and then separated them with layers of walnut leaves, which kept them intact for a long time. By using this system, they suceeded in producing a well matured and distinctively flavored cheese, because it could “breathe” through the pot and absorb the natural scent of the walnut leaves at the same time. This old tradition, typical of Pienza and the Val d’Orcia area has been revived to create “Riserva foglianoce”, a cheese that restores the charm of an ancient flavor. It goes well with sweet and dry liquour wines. Ingredients Pasteurized sheep’s milk, cultures, rennet,

Con la stagionatura il formaggio si arricchisce e acquista The seasoning has been always been a very important phase of the production of cheese as it is enriched and gains unique savours. Thanks to seasoning, the cheese assimilates some nuances of extremely refine tastes and smells from the air and the environment. This is the exact opposite of homogenization which is obtained through industrial techniques. Pecorino with must has given surprising results because it underlined the combination between cheese and wine which is considered one of the peaks of gastronomic refinement in spite of its own simplicity. The best “whole cheese” of pecorino matures in small bottles immersed in the marc. The cheese “breaths” the strong scent of wine for several months and it gains a taste of indescribable harmony. It goes well with important red wines as the Brunello di Montalcino or Nobile di Montepulciano. Ingredients Pasteurized sheep’s milk, cultures, rennet, salt.

The “formaggio di fossa” (hollow cheese) is the result of the fusion of the Tuscan and the Romagnan ancient traditions. It has been produced for centuriesin between Faenza and Forlì by eaving the cheese seasoning in natural hollows, well aired and dug in the tuff. The seasoning starts at the beginning of August and the hollows are opened again in November. In this way, the cheese has “breathed” for some months the air filtered by the tuff, gaining the flavor of a natural seasoning. The cheese of the Buca Nuova of Pienza has its seasoning in the ancient “Venturi Hollows”, which have adopted a severe regulation of controlled seasoning in order to respect the traditional method. The hollow cheese matches with great wines such as Nobile di Montepulciano and Brunello di Montalcino.. Ingredients Pasteurized sheep’s milk, cultures, rennet,

The first salt is the new product of Fattoria Buca Nuova. The Odyssey of Homer told about “curd cheese” and described the working process: “ the milk in pails or in jugs coagulated, it took shape in woven baskets where it parted from the liquid element and it was ready to be eaten the day after”. Primocacio of Fattoria Buca Nuova is produced with sheep’s milk, vegetable rennet (Cynara cardunculus) and salt. It is very fresh and delicate with the typical taste of the just milked milk, a non-existent rind, raw white dough with small holes (eyes). If you slice it, it sheds pearly tears and it gives off scent of pastured grass. It is a light and dietetic product. It is ideal, if it is eaten raw or with extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. It goes very well with raw vegetables, young white wines and if you roast it on large pieces of bread. Ingredients Pasteurized sheep’s milk, cultures, rennet, salt.

Pasta and stone-ground flour from organic agriculture

Producer

Az. agricola Grappi Luchino

Located between the green and fertile hills of the Orcia Valley (Val d´Orcia), “Grappi Luchino” is managed with passion and care by the company owner and his family. The company, certified organic since 1992, covers an area of about 85 hectares where it cultivates spelt, common and durum wheat, as well as chickpeas and lentils. The mill and pasta factory is located in the Spedaletto area where the grain is ground into flour and transformed into artisanal pasta using the bronze die extrusion process and dried at low temperatures. The main products are flour and artisanal pasta which are processed in the old stone mill and the pasta factory. The stone-ground flour, which is characterized by a courser grind and a strong aroma, preserves the germ of the grain and all the natural substances contained in it.

The stone-grinding process of wheat minimizes overheating of the flour and preserves the vitamines. In contrast to the industrial processing, the stone-grinding process preserves the germ of the wheat which is rich in nutrients such as group E, B and minerals such as phosphorus, potassium and magnesium. The company has been certified organic since 1992 (CCPB) and has participated in the experimental project “Dal Grano al Pane” (from grain to bread) sponsored by the Rural Development Sector of the Siena Province in collaboration with the Faculty of Agriculture of the Università degli Studi di Firenze, for the reintroduction of ancient indigenous varieties of wheat.

The pasta is produced according to traditional techniques such as bronze die extrusion and slow drying at low temperatures. Among the most characteristic shapes of pasta, the company produces fresh and dry Pici, as well as Pappardelle.

Pici is a hand-rolled pasta, like a fat spaghetti which dough is typically made from flour and water. Pici is the ancestor of spaghetti and originates in the province of Siena in the southern part of Tuscany. The origin of Pici dates back to the Etruscan era and it is documented thanks to a fresco found in an etruscan tomb. The name Pici originates from the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;appiciareâ&#x20AC;?, that describes the way the strip of dough is rolled between one palm and the table, while the other hand is wrapped with the rest of the strip of thick pasta which is not uniform in size and has variations of thickness along its length. The popular tradition o f this food is reflected in the many dedicated festivals, such as the Celle sul Rigo festival which has been held for over forty years.

Verna is the name of an antient wheat variety, very popular and well appreciated in the past but forgotten for many years because less productive than modern varieties of wheat. Its characreristics and authenticity have been preserved over the years thanks to the work of the Ente Toscano Sementi. The grain Verna is charachterized by a modest protein content (12% of proteins in total), that makes it particularly interesting for people that suffer from food alergies. Indeed, the Verna variety might represent a good opportunity to improve the nutritional and digestive functionality of many people who, although not ciliac, have manifested intolerance to wheat.

As a consequence, the cooking time is reduced meanwhile preserving the essential nutrients. Ingredients Spelt.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil of Senese Hills

Producer

Soc. agricola Il Lecceto

Cooperativa Il Lecceto represents since the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s a strong reference point for the care and feeding of the olive trees in Tuscany. In time it has obtained the most prestigious awards in national and regional competitions for the best production of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The oil of the Cooperativa Il Lecceto is produced exclusively from olives harvested from 26.000 plants owned by the associates located in the territories of Castelmuzio, Petroio, Montisi, Trequanda, San Giovanni dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Asso. The olive groves are located in the high Senese hills, between 450 and 500 meters above the sea level, hence away from the coastal strip and unaffected by the olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae) and are protected in an almost natural way from pests.

Following the tradition, olive plants are grown and cultivated in a way that gives them maximum ventilation. The harvest occurs when olives are not yet fully mature and for this reason, the traditional method of olive picking involves combing the ripe fruit from the tree into nets, or hand picking into baskets tied around the waist. Ladders are used to climb up into the trees to reach the fruit. Olives are processed within 48 hours from the harvest and the oil extraction is achieved in a controlled temperature (maximum 27) only inside the mills of the area using the competence of the cooperative.

The absence of large industrial facilities in the area, the cautious and respectful management of nature, as well as the great forest that covers 40% of the total area, have protected this land from pollution since the olive trees of this area are not subjected to contamination and are not exposed to pesticides.

Producer

Belli from 1969 The story of the butcher Belli began in the 60s with Afiero Belli, an entrepreneurial and hard working young man who starts a small butcher shop with the dream of recreating the ancient flavors of the Tuscan countryside tradition, representing the old family recipes and offering to his customers the best in terms of authenticity and flavor. His daughter Roberta and his son Marco help Afiero in the management of the shop and the activity that has expanded in time, including today a sausage and a ham factory just outside the fourteenth century walls of Torrita.

In addition, the butcher Belli s.r.l. has long been associated with the Consortium for the Protection of Cinta Senese and the Consortium of White Bullock of the Central Apennines. These associations respectively promote an ancient breed of pig called Cinta Senese, that was in danger of extinction, and the brand â&#x20AC;&#x153;IGP white veal of Central Apenninesâ&#x20AC;? that includes cattle between 12 and 14 months of three of the five breeds protected by trademark 5R: the Chianina, the Maremma and the Romagnola.

At the basis of all products in the butcher Belli there is the choice of a livestock of national and especially Tuscan origin. Alfiero personally goes in stalls and barns exploring the farms and breeders of Val di Chiana and Val dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Orcia,, in order to select swine and calves for his products. The Butcher Belli has thus established a strong relationship based on trust with the farmers who raise their animals with natural forage in the wild or semi-wild environment.

Cold cuts of swine of the Tuscan Apennine of Cortona

54 The local domestic pig represents the basis for all the products in the butcher shop Belli, where the owners and their employees work with care and passion natural and genuine products. Alfiero carries out the selection of pigs himself. Important phases of the production process include the slaughterhouse, the arrival of half-carcasses to the butcher shop, the carcasses are cut up into parts and boned when necessary for the production of hams, shoulders, cheeks and bacon, loins, capocollo as well as minced meat which is ready to become salami or sausages.

Products like ham, capocollo, loins and bacon are salted using a Tuscan traditional garlic sauce that consists of a mixture of garlic, vinegar and pepper. The products are then placed in special trolleys inside the cells stores where they will remain in salt for a period of time that goes from one week to 10 days, depending on the product. The aim of salting is to impregnate the muscle tissue with salt to promote the subsequent drying of the ham and preserve it in perfect condition.

In the rediscovery of the Tuscan traditions we could not miss and forget the Cinta Senese. The Cinta Senese is a very particular breed of pigs that risked extinction up to the end of the 1990’s. It owes its name to its black coat with a white sash (called a Cinta in Italian) that runs across its shoulders, sides and front legs. Medium in size (adult pigs run between 160-200 Kgs in weight), it has sturdy limbs, long ears that cover and protect its eyes from branches and a long snout with a very thick grout that allows it to dig in the dirt at ease. These characteristics allow it to live as a free range animal in the woodlands of Tuscany.    The breed is native to the Tuscan Region and in particular to the mountainous areas near Siena and dates back prior to the middle ages, history has it to the Etruscan and Roman era. A Cinta Senese is depicted in the fresco by Ambrogio Lorenzetti dating back to 1337 (called the Buon Governo) in the Palazzo Comunale in Siena’s Piazza del Campo.

From the Middle Age until the middle of the last century, the Cinta Senese was a very popular farm animal probably due to its heartiness and easy adaptability to all types of outdoor habitats. In the second half of the twentieth century, the Cinta Senese pig breed was replaced by other breeds with higher productivity and prolificacy. All this until a few years ago, when the Consortium for the Protection of Cinta Senese strarted its activity with the purpose of saving the race, promoting and guarantee the origin and distribution of the products obtained from this spectacular breed of animals. This breed is now off the endangered species list and its meat was recently awarded the D.O.P. classification from the European Community as a product of high quality tightly tied to tradition and is now listed among those culinary excellencies that render Tuscany and Italy so famous around the world.

Villa Le Prata

Villa le Prata was built in 1860 by the Count De’ Vecchi as a hunting lodge and later became the country residence of the Bishop of Montalcino. Professor Massimo Losappio with his wife Mairaluce bought Villa Le Prata in 1980, planted the first vineyard of one hectare near the house, at 500 meters above sea level, and started producing wine. Later, the management of the winery passed to their daughter Benedetta who,with the help of the family, runs it to this day. In 1997 a further two vineyards of Brunello were planted, one hectare below Castelnuovo Dell’Abate and another hectare below the Castello della Velona. Currently Villa le Prata produces Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino and a selection of Brunello di Montalcino called “Massimo”, for a total of 18.000 bottles.

Wines of Val dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Orcia (Siena)

Producer

Az. Agricola Podere Albiano

Within the highly prestigious wine-growing districts of Montalcino, Montepulciano and Pienza there is a line that runs between the small medieval villages of Petroio and Castelmuzio. Halfway up this road, beside the chapel of the Madonna del Parto with its cypress trees it begins one of those white tracks which traces the Tuscan countryside . This is the road that leads to the entrance of Podere Albiano. The vineyards are located at 400 mt. above sea level and where the microclimate is positively influenced by the draughts created by the vicinity of Mount Amiata and by being on the edge of two valleys (The Val dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Orcia and the Val di Chiana). The location on a slope defines the ideal condition for the cultivation of selected vines: Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot.

The cellar of Podere Albiano is an excellent example of the integration of the traditions of this area and the most advanced technologies in winemaking and renewable energy. The estate is powered by a geothermal energy plant in order to reduce CO2 emissions and this is consistent with the philosophy of the owners of respecting nature and the environment, as well as promoting sustainable resources use. The aging cellar, which houses the barrels, is kept at a constant temperature and humidity. The wines that need to mature in wood and become more complex prior to bottling are kept in this room. Afterwards wine is bottled in embellished bottles with beautiful artistic labels.

The owners are dedicated entirely to the vineyard, with a daily work marked only by the rhythms of nature and the pursuit of quality. In their passionate choice there is all the joy and the desire to be real winemakers.

Wines of San Gimignano

Producer

Az. agricola Cappella Sant’Andrea

Cappella Sant’Andrea farm, with 8 hectares of vineyards and situated 1 km far from the suggestive medieval city of S. Gimignano, was bought in the 50’s by Giovanni and Renato Leoncini. In the 90’s, Giovanni together with his daughter Antonella, decided to build a new cellar and to extend his possessions in order to increase the production. It is during the 90´s that the most important wines of the farm arise: S. Gimignano Rosso DOC Serreto and Vernaccia Selezione Rialto, created by Giovanni and by the oenologist Paolo Salvi in collaboration with Giulio Gambelli.

The cellar, which project was made by Giovanni Leoncini in the 90’s, has modern vinification techniques, meanwhile respecting the traditions. The Vernaccia wine vinifies inside stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature. Red wines vinify in cement vats. The best wines, Vernaccia Rialto and Rosso Serreto, after the fermentation, stay in barriques of French oak in a special underground cellar.

At present, Flavia, the daughter of Antonella, and her husband Francesco, represent the fourth generation of this family of passionate winemakers. They lead the farm together carrying on the traditions adopting organic farming methods.

Apple products from Val dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Orcia

Producer

Azienda agricola Fontecornino

The organic farm Podere Fontecornino is located in the heart of Tuscany, 8 km from the famous vineyards of Montepulciano and 5 minutes away from the thermal springs of Chianciano. The daily activity is centered on the rhythms of producing and processing apples. This highly appreciated fruit is produced observing the principles of organic farming and thanks to the valuable experience gained from three successive generations of farmers.

Since 1992, Fontecornino provides with its 11 hectares of land extremely rich in nutrients a significant assortment of apples produced in harmony with nature. Twelve species are cultivated - Gala, Goldrush, Braeburn, Jonagold, Topaz, Stayman (Winesap), Delorina, Fuji, and small amounts of experimental Pilot, Pinova, Granny Smith and Summerred - suitable both for direct consumption and for processing to juice, cider and vinegar.

In Fontecornino, life and man work follow the rhythm of nature: in the spring season apple trees are in bloom and the tender shoots multiply. During the summer fruits grow and ripen in order to be harvested in the fall. Finally in the winter, trees rest, save energies during cold weather and and live off stored food until spring. Life and work take place at all times in full harmony with the seasons.

The organic apple Cider is a fermented alcoholic beverage made from the unfiltered juice of apples and packaged in a glass bottle. It is characterized by a slight alcohol content of 7.5% and thanks to its pleasant refreshing fragrance and its resemblance to a brut sparkling wine, it is suitable as an aperitif and an excellent accompaniment to the meal or dessert. Best served cold at 6° – 8° C. For the production of this cider, Fontecornino uses high tannin content apple varieties. After the fruits have been pressed, the juice is left to ferment at rather low temperatures in order to develop its typical aroma. Before the process of fermentation is completed, air exchange is stopped in order to allow for the formation of natural carbon dioxide. Then the cider is ready for tasting and bottling. Ingredients: apple cider, tartaric acid and sulfur dioxide. ORGANOLEPTIC PROPERTIES OF THE PRODUCT

Jams for pairing with pecorino cheese

Producer

Azienda agricola La Bandita

The farm estate La Bandita is located near Petroio, a small medieval hamlet of the commune of Trequanda, in the province of Siena, where time seems to pass more slowly than elsewhere. La Bandida is immersed in 56 hectars of green, surrounded by fruit orchard, vineyards, olive grove and woods. In this area where concrete hasn’t arrived yet, there are few cars and the environment is practically uncontaminated, life flows with the rhythm of the sowing, the harvest, grape and olive picking.

The estate was created by Daniela and Leonardo´s hard work and dream. The couple has renovated the farmhouse at the edge of a large wood, planted vines and fruit trees and regenerated the olive grove doing a lot of the work with our bare hands. In February 2008 the estate was converted to organic production and is fully “organic” since February 2011.
