Welcome to our family business!
TUSCAN COUNTRYSIDE
I an old farmhouse from 1850, in the heart of the Colline Pisane, the “hills of Pisa”, you´ll find our small family-business Podere Spazzavento, where we produce organic wine and oil since 2003. Our farm is situated on a slight hill, not far from the village Ponsacco, direction Casciana Terme, surrounded by 15 hectars of land, hereunder vineyards (9 ha), olives, meadows and fields.
By the way: Podere means "farm" and Spazzavento means "sweeping wind".
Our position is great as we don't have direct neighbours, at the same time everything we need it just around the corner. The "motorway" for example that connects Florence-Pisa-Livorno is just 10 minutes away, which is really advantageous.
FAMILY PROPERTY
WE means: the brothers Alessandro and Fabio Piceni Belli, her mother Luisa and Alessandros wife Kerstin (me) with the boys Paolo and Filippo.
Since the beginning we have precious help by the winemaker Attilio Pagli and the agronomist Alfredo Tocchini - they helped to get the adventure started... Thanks to our passion we learned quickly and year by year got better; the same with our grapes: the quality got better because we planted new vineyards and learned how to care best for the plants. Our whole production is organic since the very first day.
It's a great satisfaction to see people drink and buy our wines, making us compliments for the high quality and most of all: people are coming back again and again since years because they got used to our good wines and olive-oil.
We also love to run the agritourismo (we have 4 cosy apartments for rent) because we get to know a lot of interesting and lovely people. It's like a neighborhood for a week or two, very relaxed and friendly, and often it becomes a friendship.
