An experience tailored to you: lunch or aperitif?
Whether you choose lunch or an aperitif, every course celebrates the food of the Pisa area and our “Bio & Art” philosophy. Both experiences are designed to bring out the flavours of the freshly found truffle.
• Green gold: Both options begin with a tasting of our organic extra virgin olive oil, cold-extracted to preserve its authentic, fruity and pleasantly peppery character.
• Wine pairing with an artistic touch: Both lunch and the aperitif include a guided tasting of three of our organic wines. Their artist-designed labels complement the truffle’s complex aromas, bringing together art, nature and fine winemaking.
FAQ
Castelfalfi
Castelfalfi began in the Middle Ages as a fortified settlement between Volterra and San Gimignano. Its location gave it a strategic role in the conflicts between Pisa and Florence. Over time, it lost its military function and became an agricultural village linked to vineyards and olive groves. It was gradually abandoned during the twentieth century, then restored in recent years, returning to life without losing its historic identity.
