THE FARM

The farm Poggio L'Apparita, established in 1978 in Tuscany, spreads over an area of 20 hectares in Maremma, and is located 20 km north of Grosseto, in the direction of Siena. The entire property remains under the protection of environmental heritage of the provinces of Siena and Grosseto because of significant scenic interest. The origins of the farmhouse are not certain: it is not clear whether in the past it was a Customhouse on the borders between the Republic of Siena and the Papal States or, in view of its architecture, if it was a military settlement. However, on the old maps it was know as Podere San Michele, hence our choice to name our products San Michele di Poggio L'Apparita.
