About Fattoria San Michele a Torri

Fattoria San Michele a Torri is located in the heart of Chianti, 15 km away from Florence. It takes its name from the village in which it stands, and is located on a beautiful hill at the gates of Florence, from which you can admire the wonderful Tuscan landscape full of vineyards, olive groves and woods. It covers 2750 acres of land of which 222 acres are cultivated with vineyards, 346 acres with olive groves and the remaining part with arable land, forest and Cinta Senese breeding (they live free range within the property).

Paolo Nocentini, current owner of the company, has given new impetus and development to the traditional agricultural activity, expanding and renewing the crops and directing it towards the organic production of typical Tuscan products.

Extra virgin olive oil is undoubtedly a symbolic product of Tuscan agriculture. We currently grow around 40.000 olive trees. Among these, the most important variety is Frantoio but we also have plants of Moraiolo, Leccino, Maurino and Rosselleino Cerretano. The olive groves extend over 346 acres at heights between 150 and 300 meters above sea level on land highly suited to olive growing. In 2017 we purchased a company oil mill which allows us to better organize the pressing, one of the most important phases of oil production. Our oil mill is the most modern you can find on the market, a plant designed to produce very high quality, fruity, spicy oils with a high polyphenol content. The annual production is approximately 40.000 kg of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
