FATTORIA DI PIAZZANO
The FATTORIA di PIAZZANO is much more than a simple company, it represents the extraordinary passion for the world of wine of an entire family, the BETTARINI family. In 1948, Otello Bettarini, a well-known industrialist from Prato with a passion for astronomy, fell in love with these places to the point of deciding to move there permanently.
In this village, among these hills surrounded by greenery south of Empoli, 20 km from Florence, he found the right astral conjunction to undertake what would become the main activity of this family, WINEMAKING.
Now in its third generation, the management of the farm is still entirely entrusted to the family, Rolando, Ilaria and Michela, continue with attachment and tenacity the work that has been handed down to them, also making use of the collaboration of valid technicians in the sector. Their intent has always been to guarantee the quality of the product by enhancing the potential of the territory in the strongly desired respect of eco-sustainability that keeps the soil as healthy as possible, but with a careful eye on new technologies and market needs.
The heart of the farm is a small village on the top of the hill surrounded by rows and olive trees for a total of 60 hectares of which 33 are planted with vineyards. It is here that the Bettarini family lives and works and it is here that they produce their wines.
