The Valdorcia Terre Senesi agricultural company was founded in 1998, almost by chance, thanks to the passion that four friends shared for the Sienese countryside.
Right from the start, Antonio and his friends and business partners—after purchasing several hectares of olive groves in both Val d’Orcia and on Monte Amiata—decided to go organic by starting a small-scale production of extra virgin olive oil for personal use.
Later, in 2009, thanks to the acquisition of the Scarabotti estate, in the heart of the Val d’Orcia Natural Park, with the purchase of an additional 4 hectares of olive groves and 1 hectare of vineyards (mostly Sangiovese, with the remainder Cabernet Sauvignon), the transition to organic farming was also initiated for the production of wine and grains.
The reason for choosing “natural” production stems from the childhood memories of Antonio and his three partners, when their parents and grandparents cultivated the land without using chemicals, the crops were wholesome and flavorful, and the production process harmed neither the environment nor people’s health.
Corporate Philosophy
From the very beginning, Valdorcia Terre Senesi has been committed to producing high-quality organic products using native varieties of grapevines and olive trees deeply rooted in the region, cultivating in harmony with nature using traditional methods and avoiding the use of pesticides and insecticides.
All of Valdorcia Terre Senesi’s production is traceable, certified, and monitored.
