Our vegetable garden started almost as a joke years ago. At first, we built it entirely with salvaged materials. Then, we saw the first results and got a taste for it: we expanded it, trying to make it more productive.
There is an old saying, “the vegetable garden wants the man dead.” It’s true: after working in the fields, we were exhausted, but the satisfaction was so great that this year we tripled its size.
Our products are beautiful in their imperfection.
We are not looking for a flawless shape to be “instagrammable,” but for that authentic goodness that invites you to rejoice in these little treasures. We want to return to the earth’s simplicity and unpredictability, breaking away from this continuous rush towards the perfect at all costs.
Anyone who visits us at Palagio di Panzano must take us exactly as we are. You will find Tuscan rural life here in Chianti for what it is: true, simple, and made of conviviality, friendship, and traditions.
There is Valentino, our chef, who creates unique dishes with the treasures of this private garden; there is Irene, who will guide you through our organic wine tastings; and then there’s us, Monia and Franco, ready to welcome you with a heartfelt “Ciao!” within our ancient walls in Panzano in Chianti, dating back to the Lombard era.Even the laurel from the garden follows this philosophy: it brings its properties into our homemade bread dough, fresh pasta sauces, and slowly simmered stews.
For seasoning, we use only our organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVO)—for us, there is simply no substitute.We live by the honest rhythms of the earth. If you wish to share this genuine Tuscan experience with us for your next vacation, you can find all the booking options on our website.
