Italian cuisine

Simple but authentic ingredients

Famous all over the world for the use of simple but authentic ingredients, Italian cuisine is one of the most renowned cuisines in the world, thanks to the freshness and quality of the ingredients used. From extra virgin olive oil to date tomatoes, from durum wheat flour to parmesan cheese, all the ingredients used to prepare the typical dishes of our land are fresh and delicate, revealing their exquisite taste in every mouthful.

Raw materials of regional origin

Organic vegetable garden

At Montecucco Estate, the raw materials used are strictly of regional origin and very much local. The smells and vegetables, different depending on the season, come directly from the organic vegetable garden located in the heart of the estate, which was created with the intention of sharing a genuine passion for true flavors and for a Tuscan cuisine of high quality that is respectful of traditions.
