Tuscany is organicWe can shout it at the top of our lungs and write it in giant letters. Organic before it became a trend throughout Italy, organic by vocation, by tradition, for quality.

Of course, it hasn't always been organicLike any other territory it was affected by the period between the 60s and the 90s and by the senseless use of pesticides and fertilizers which have temporarily revolutionized traditional agricultural practices with the abandonment and extinction of many local and traditional varieties.

Tuscany's green revolution

But now all this is largely behind us. Tuscany is now making a great effort in the organic counter-revolution, of the biodynamic, of thenatural agriculture, of the km0, the new flagships of every self-respecting grower.

TuscanyPeople has always been committed to spreading the fundamental message of the new healthy agricultureSo we went to Maremma, to La Maliosa Farm - 165 hectares of certified organic farm since 2010 for artisanal production of natural wines, EVO oil and honey - which  makes use of the Corino Method, the only “natural” grape and wine production process patented in Italy.

But not only that, we even went on a "trip" to Mongardino, in the province of Asti, in class with Professor Corino, together with prominent figures from high-profile Piedmontese companies.

Bolgheri: The 80% of the wineries is organic

TuscanyPeople has been to several times Bolgheri, one of the great Tuscan territories of choice for wine, in which there is a deep respect for their land and their environment: not many are certified, for reasons of opportunity, but at least the 80% of the winemakers they practice organic or even the biodynamic In fact. And we know that, beyond the documents, it's the concrete reality that counts.

The Chianti Biodistrict

TuscanyPeople spread the culture of Chianti Biodistrict, born recently, in 2016, from the union of 50 companies organic wineries between Florence and Siena: the organic geographical area, as a whole, includes approximately 30% of the cultivated agricultural surface.

The magazine of Tuscan organic excellence

TuscanyPeople was guest Of hundreds of restaurants that they do km0, that is, local vegetables, or even those lovingly and respectfully grown in the garden next door, one of their musts.

Yes, we can say it loud and clear: Tuscany is coming back green and has promoted a new way of understanding nature that places the consumer, his taste, but above all his right to health.

AND TuscanyPeople, we can also say this strongly, not only has it made this possible since its birth green counterrevolution a cornerstone but, if possible, will do even more to spread the message so that the virtuous process is completed as soon as possible.
