"It's amazing how these people built their rural landscapes as if they had no other concern than beauty."
Sinuous hills, vineyards, olive groves, small villages, castles, thermal baths, unique architectures, iconic scenery... these are just few of the reasons why this stunning southern part of Tuscany is a World Heritage Site of Unesco, since 2004. It's a place where you feel like the time flows slower and gentler and your eyes are delighted of such beauty all around. A zone of skilled artisans producing exquisite handicrafts and breeds: Doc Orcia wine, virgin olive oil, truffles, aromatic saffron, the succulent pigs of the “Cinta Senese” breed, Chianina cows (the “white giant” loved by the Romans) and sheep whose milk yields savory pecorino. |

PecorinoThe unique flavor of this cheese is due to an unparalleled combination: the clayey soils on which the Sardinian sheep graze and the fragrant herbs of the fields that give the milk peculiar hints of chestnut, bay leaf and herbaceous. Savor and even produce your pecorino, visit the farms and create an exquisite memory.
