Beyond Wine: Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Land, and Tradition at Agricola Il Ponte
A Complete and Virtuous Agricultural Supply Chain
Azienda Agricola Il Ponte is the most authentic expression of Capalbio's rural tradition, where agricultural production thrives through an integrated model that enhances every resource of the land. More than just a high-quality winery, it is a fully integrated farm engaged in the cultivation of vineyards and olive groves, the production of artisanal pasta, and the raising of farm animals, including
Chianina cattle, goats, chickens, and donkeys. From its own land comes a prized Toscano IGP Extra Virgin Olive Oil, crafted from selected olives processed according to criteria of excellence. Every activity is guided by a respect for nature, meticulous attention to production, and a desire to preserve the agricultural identity of the Tuscan Maremma, turning tradition, quality, and sustainability into tangible value.
