In the “ Frutteto Giardino” ancient and historic roses together with their refined blossoming’s complicate the intriguing geometry of the lines of fruit plants.

The owners of a family-run agricultural farm transformed the building 20 years ago, into an organic firm. Now they produce soya for human alimentation, spelt, wheat, sunflower, olive and nut oil obtained by two olive groves and a nut grove, and recently they have started cultivating tomatoes, which are sown directly in open field.

In the past 10 years the owner has begun the research for local ancient fruits and has recovered old varieties of plums, apricots and black cherries, which created an orchard, where many historic and ancient roses grow, surrounded by mixed hedges and wooded strips, in order to host small animals and insects and enrich biodiversity of fauna and flora.

“Frutteto Giardino” is open to guided visits and walks also for scholar groups. Delicious bio jams and bio tomato purees are made with the products of the orchard.
