The Castelvecchio Agricoltural Company extends over 800 hectares, between fields and woodlands. It has a long history cultivating wheat, barley, fodder and alfalfa. Perfectly nestled within its cultivations, the estate includes, of course, a small wine yard which produces a fabulous DOC Orcia red wine denominated “Il Perignano”, in honour of its historical castle that was destroyed by the Sienese in 1567. The hamlet is also surrounded by 1500 olive trees that produce an excellent, hand picked and cold pressed extra virgin olive oil. In the heart of both the UNESCO world heritage site of the Orcia Vally and the National Park of the same designation, Castelvecchio is also enriched by a hunting reserve where pheasants, deer, roe deer and wild boars can be observed thanks to special hunting shelters.
