In Tuscany, food isn’t just nourishment — it is a way of being together.
We don’t sit at the table only to eat. We sit to talk, to slow down, to feel alive again after a long day. And at the heart of this ritual, there are always three things: bread, olive oil, and wine.
They are simple. They are ancient. And yet they have the power to turn even an ordinary evening into something unforgettable.
🍞 Bread: The Beginning of Every Story
In Tuscany, bread is never just a side. It is the foundation of the table — rustic, humble, and real.
It carries the scent of wheat fields, the heat of the oven, the memory of hands that kneaded it.
At Montemaggio, we love the first bite of a meal to be this: a piece of toasted bread, still warm, ready to welcome a drizzle of olive oil.
🫒 Olive Oil: The Soul of the Land
Pouring olive oil is like opening a window onto the Tuscan landscape.
The bright green color, the scent of fresh herbs, the peppery finish — it is the land itself, pressed into liquid gold.
There is something sacred in the moment when the first oil of the season touches bread.
It is the taste of the harvest, of the sun, of the wind that moved through the olive trees.
🍷 Wine: The Voice of Time
And then there is wine — not to finish the ritual, but to deepen it.
A glass of Chianti Classico brings body and warmth to the table.
A glass of Montemaggio Rosé brings brightness and joy.
The wine tells the story of the year that shaped it, and of the people who cared for it.
Wine does not ask you to be an expert.
It asks you to be present.
🍽️ The Joy of Sharing
A Tuscan table isn’t about perfection.
It’s about connection — about looking at the people around you and feeling lucky to be there.
Even the simplest meal becomes special when shared with intention.
Bread fills the stomach.
Oil fills the senses.
Wine fills the heart.
Together, they turn a meal into a memory.
🌿 What We Believe at Montemaggio
At Fattoria di Montemaggio, the table is where everything makes sense:
the vineyard, the olive grove, the hard work, the seasons, the waiting.
Because wine and oil are not meant to be consumed alone — they are meant to be enjoyed with others, to spark conversations, to turn strangers into friends and friends into family.
