Fattoria La Maliosa

Fattoria La Maliosa is a 170-hectare organic farm in the Maremma hills of southern Tuscany, near the hot springs of Saturnia. Antonella Manuli founded it in 2010 to show that wine and olive oil can be made naturally, from soil to bottle. The vines are old Maremma varieties such as Ciliegiolo, Trebbiano and Procanico, and the first vineyard was a 60-year-old plot rescued from neglect. Nothing is added to the wines. The farm is open daily, and its tastings, picnics and hillside cabins all book online.

About Fattoria La Maliosa

Antonella Manuli spent ten years working at the Terme di Saturnia spa resort before she farmed land of her own. Around the mid-2000s she began planning a project that would treat the Maremma gently. La Maliosa was born in 2010, certified organic from the start. The name comes from the Italian verb ammaliare, to bewitch. The farm's 170 hectares, roughly 240 football pitches, mix vineyards with olive groves, grassland and woods.

The farming follows the Metodo Corino, a patented method developed with the agronomist and researcher Lorenzo Corino. The rules are strict: native yeasts do the fermenting, nothing is added to the wine, and the soil is fed with plant material grown on the farm. The farm also measures what it preaches, tracking the biological quality of its soil and its carbon footprint. Since 2013 it has worked on soil science with an agricultural research centre in Florence. In 2022 it added SQNPI certification for sustainable farming.

The vines are old Maremma varieties: Ciliegiolo, Sangiovese and grey Cannonau for the reds, Trebbiano and Procanico for the whites. The first vineyard was a 60-year-old plot rescued from semi-abandonment, now called the Vigna Madre. Every vineyard planted since has copied its mix of vines. The steepest, Vigna Corino, drops about 30 per cent across stony ground ten million years old. Across the Fiora river, near Pitigliano, a patch of white vines grows on deep volcanic ash. Wild vines still climb the trees in the farm's woods, a sign of how untouched this corner of Tuscany is.

The wines are natural Toscana IGT bottlings, orange and red among them, and the olive groves give certified organic oils. Visiting is easy. The gate is open daily from 10 to 6, and everything books online. The cheapest way in is a 15-minute speed tasting for 8 euros. Beyond that come full farm tastings, picnics on wooden decks above the vines, and e-bike or horseback tours. The StarsBOX cabins host sunset picnics in the middle of the landscape. In the village of Saturnia the farm also runs a wine bar with a zero-kilometre kitchen. Five guest rooms wait nearby in a restored 1600s house.
