On a south facing hillock of the gentle sloping hills of Lucca, lies the Fattoria di Fubbiano, a 45 hectares (135 acres) estate comprised of vineyards, olive groves and woods. Here, winters are mild and cornucopia of wild flowers begins blooming as early as January. At Fubbiano we are committed to nurturing the exceptional agricultural potential of our property by developing exciting groves and vines and diversifying our products while promoting indigenous varieties of olives and grapes. We strongly believe in maintaining the delicate chain of a balanced biological ecosystem and only use traditional organic products to protect our vines from deseases. Weed-killers or insecticides are never applied.We have revived the traditional way of rural life and faithfully restored the estate's original buildings, in order to retain their unique architectural character and to offer to our guests the chance to live a pleasant stay in a special rural setting. The main products of the Fubbiano estate are our award-winning extra-virgin olive oil and our DOC Colline Lucchesi wines that we sell also at our farm shop.
