Fattoria il Duchesco

The Fattoria Il Duchesco was born from a portion of the Duchini family’s farm in the Natural Park of Maremma Toscana in Alberese in the province of Grosseto.

HISTORY

Aldo and Ivana will start working in the 70s to make the farm a well-kept and hospitable jewel with a wine-growing and olive-growing vocation, but with a great passion for the fruit and vegetables that they sold every day under the roof of the house

THE PRESENT

Fabio and Cristina continue the passion for this land and the care of the farmhouse to make it welcoming and suitable for those seeking relaxation in contact with nature

THE PHILOSOPHY

Il Duchesco is certified organic by Bio Agricert in respect of the nature that surrounds us.

Cultivating Bio has been a concrete choice since 1997. The Farmhouse is also dedicated to energy saving with the European Ecolabel, and the Restaurant also offers zero kilometer and 70% organic products.

You will find the Slow Food philosophy in our dishes and in the Presidia of a territory to be discovered.
