The Farm |

The Farm Sergio Testini was started almost
one hundred years ago by Virgilio, Sergio’s father, who
owned a small estate in the village of Centoia, about 6 miles
away from Cortona, that served to support his then very large
family. Besides the usual wheat and sunflower crops, vegetable
garden and vineyard Virgilio also started breeding and trading
cattle.
Sergio devoted himself both out of passion and necessity to his fathers trade and carried it on extending the farm and concentrating it on wheat, sunflower and olive tree farming and swine breeding. Sergio’s farm spreads today over a total surface of about 360 acres and includes four different swine farms located in the municipalities of Cortona and Montepulciano and covering thus both provinces of Arezzo and Siena. |

In
2002, wishing to renew and diversify his range of activities, Sergio
decided, together with his daughter Federica, to renovate one of
the old farmhouses included in the farm which once accommodated
the farmers who worked in the estate and convert it into the current
holiday farmhouse. |
