ReceptionOlive Oil & Wine
Bacchereto
On the east side of Montalbano you will find Bacchereto, this small village
which was during the Middle Ages under the dominium of Carmignano.
Bacchereto was famous for the production of pottery known as Majoliche and
used to be the centre point for this pottery from the end of the 13th Century
until the middle of the 15th Century.
The main customers for this pottery were the two Hospitals in Florence ‘Santa
Maria Nuova’ and
‘
The Hospital of the Innocents’, both still exist and been used today,
Hospitals for wealthy people.
Unfortunately, there have been no records about the craftsmen who created
the elegant and beautiful ceramics or how they achieved such a beautiful craftsmanship.
However, after the restoration of recently discovered ruins of an old workshop
near the village, we might be able to re-create those beautiful ceramics.
Today Bacchereto is famous for its great wine and olive oil. Which was acknowledged
1990 with the awarding of the certificate DOCG (Denominazione d’Origine
Controllata e Garantita) that stands for high quality and the guarantee of
a good product and IGP (Indicazione Geografica Protetta) that guarantee the
area of the products.
The richness of the ground, the position and the difference in the weather,
with big difference between the temperature in the winter and the summer, had
done Carmignano the best area for the cultivation of olive oil trees.
The farm Colline San Biagio produces an excellent olive oil of great quality
IGP and a beautiful wine "Carmignano DOCG".
You are all welcome to come and try our great products!
The old stall, where the pigs were hold, is now a modern and beautiful reception.
