The organic farm as it is today is the legacy of the work of 3 generations of Bertoli, who have always lived and worked in Santa Luce, in Tuscany.
The Bertoli family has been cultivating the hilly lands of Santa Luce since the Second World War.
First three generations of Bertoli have worked in agriculture for years according to tradition, riding the changes of the time, from blacksmiths to agricultural mechanical workers and subcontractors, to become real owners and entrepreneurs with the foundation, in the seventies, of the Bertoli Farm.
