Podernovo reveals itself among the gentle and magical undulations of the hills around Pisa, where Tuscany is exalted, where it appears more meaningful, more pristine, more hidden, more silent. It unveils itself to the eyes like a breathtaking vision and feels like colour that softens the hill, stone that has blended, since the beginning of time, into its natural surroundings. Great is the history of Podernovo, stretching back centuries, told by the Tuscan stone with which the estate was built, by its architecture that glows in its simple style, as was wont among medieval master builders, by the landscape in which it stands tall, like one, three, six hundred years before, above the intricate embroidery of vines and olive trees and cypresses, by the earth itself. This is where the Etruscans ploughed, this is where the Romans created pastures, this is where the estate was created in the Middle Ages and where the art of making good wines and one of Tuscan’s most celebrated olive oils was conceived.
