We have the duty to respect, preserve and, up to the limit of our capability, protect
nature being part of it.
Our fields are on the hill side, covered by woods, olive groves, vineyards and the rains falling with higher
intensity would cause huge erosions unless the soil is covered with grass and the water is properly canaled.
Longer periods of drought follow the heavy rains. To handle this consequence of the climate change we
have started building a net of drainages, small canals, stone walls and we are planning to build a water
conservancy basin.
Giving our contribution to minimize the CO2 emissions, we have installed a wind generator alongside
with a solar-thermal system to produce heat water
"Aia Leccioni" has been implemented to be an organic farm. Our primary objective is to cultivate quality and genuine products, respecting the typical
characteristics of the territory and seasonality.
Our main product is an excellent extra virgin olive oil that we obtain through a cold pressing
of the olives we collect manually from about 800 plants of various species (Leccino, Moraiolo, Pendolino, Frantoio…).
We have a small vineyard, from which we produce excellent wine reserved exclusively for
our guests and family and an orchard with various types of plants.
Our vegetable garden and henhouse provide us with natural and fresh biological products:
honey, oil, wine and fruits found on the table come from organic cultivation methods,
without the use of any type of chemicals for health and environment benefit.
The estate, located in the countryside of the Alta Val di Cecina, is inserted into a typical Tuscan
landscape where green and hilly spaces alternate with vast wooded areas, close to the uncontaminated
nature.
An amazing territory.
You will have the opportunity to spot animals that animate our lands, such as buzzards, hares, turtles,
roe deer, foxes, wild boars and porcupines. You will admire the different varieties of trees such as holm
oaks, oaks, pines, strawberry trees. In season you can pick myrtle or juniper berries, or the fruits of the
strawberry trees.
Furthermore, this territory is significant from a geological and geothermal point of view, on the
edges of the metalliferous hills. Not far from us you can visit places with residual volcanic activity.
The cross vaults and the original impressive stone grinder the farmers in the valley used to process
their olives till the beginning of the last century, have been returned to their original hierarchy.
Protecting all the elements proving the origin of the farm, we have enhanced the comfort of the
available facilities up to modern standards. Whatever we have found in the refurbishment proving the
activities were done in the past has been saved and placed in a proper location to be fully valued
We want to offer moments of peace and serenity, feeling part of our world.
It is not just offering proper services (almost everybody can do it), but sharing our ideas and objectives as among friends
