Respect and attention for the environment
The earth is not ours,
we only loan it
and we have to preserve it
for future generations
Since the very beginning, aware of our origins and the value that the earth holds for our history and our future, we try to pay the utmost attention to the environment.
Per questo motivo utilizziamo energie verdi, recuperiamo l’acqua piovana e cerchiamo di ridurre il più possibile il nostro impatto ambientale.
Delivering an intact and healthy planet to future generations is not only important; we must be daily committed instead.

Verna Wheat
WE HAVE BELIEVED IN IT,
AND WE WERE THE FIRST TO REUSE THIS WHEAT.
‟It was the early 2000s when everything began, from a meeting between Uncle Luca and Pietro Pagliuca, then Director of the Agrarian Consortium of Siena. It was also thanks to the collaboration with Professor Stefano Benedettelli (Department of Agri-Food and Environmental Production Sciences of the University of Florence) that WE STRONGLY BELIEVED IN THE REUSE OF THIS WHEAT.„
Verna is the name of a variety of wheat, much appreciated in the past for its great rustic flavour, but then forgotten for many years because of its less productive yield compared to the modern varieties. Ancient wheats show a strong link with the territory and its traditions and contribute to the foundations of a balanced diet.
Produciamo direttamente nell’azienda agricola biologica di famiglia una buona parte del Grano Verna che utilizziamo nei nostri prodotti, e questa tipologia di grano viene macinata a pietra, per mantenere il germe di grano all’interno del prodotto finito e preservarne le caratteristiche; la farina che otteniamo è di tipo 2 o “semi-integrale”, quindi naturalmente ricca di fibre.
A lifestyle
Verna wheat gives the products
a strong hint of wheat
and a rustic flavor to the preparations.
Verna Bread
This is our grandfather’s bread, our family’s roots.
This is our grandfather’s bread, our family’s roots.
Il nonno Pietro faceva il pane con farina di grano Verna, coltivato in Valdichiana, con lievito madre.
We have gone back and rediscovered traditions and what our family has handed down to us: we have rebuilt the beam, we have studied the long leavening times, the preservation of the yeast for subsequent processing, we have stone ground the Verna wheat and have proposed a strictly wood-oven baked process.
Con pazienza e passione, abbiamo ricreato questo straordinario pane senza tempo, che fa rivivere le fragranze di una volta e si può gustare in tutta la sua bontà per tanti giorni.
Verna Line
In addition to its daily use in bread, pizzas, focaccia and snacks, we also produce a line of packaged sweet and savory products.
