Authenticity and tradition, a lifetime of saffron flavor, like the yellow gold of San Gimignano.
President of the Consortium for PDO Saffron of San Gimignano, Tiziana is a proud spokesperson for the Tuscan traditions who with authenticity and dedication runs an farmhouse in the most beautiful San Gimignano countryside. A family-run, Tiziana together with her husband, son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren, hosts travelers from all over the world on her farm, which also includes a riding stables, and runs the farm. She carries on the business that was strongly desired and created by her father, a lover of horses so much that he ran the palio in 1946, with simple "ingredients"; Tuscan values and authenticity are the main ones, "You arrive as a guest and leave as a friend" the adage that permeates their hospitality. A welcome that also includes a catering "as it used to be", which puts homemade pasta and grandmother's recipes on the table.
Of deep-rooted organic, about 25 years ago it was the second company in the area to embrace the method, the agricultural production led by Tiziana, sees enriching the shelves of the food and wine delicacy of an IGT Toscana Bianco wine named after her mother, the Donna Iolanda, a Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG red and an IGT Toscana Rosso, the Sceval. They also include a delicious saffron grappa named after his father, Sor Mario, an extra virgin olive oil also organic, and even the honey, of various kinds, from nomadic beekeeping. But the flagship of the cultivation is really a flower, the crocus, from which saffron is made; the saffron that bears the PDO mark and which was considered in ancient times the best in the world. A production that has its roots in the 1200s, "vital for San Gimignano," and which Tiziana carries on with wise pride and passion.
