Located in Via della Piana 3/5/7 at Cecciola di Ventasso, in the province of Reggio Emilia, the Agriappennino farm is in the heart of the high Enza valley, and the Tuscan-Emilian Appennines National Park. Here nature and culture are brought together in perfect harmony in an ancient little town. Apart from the edible chestnuts produced around the town of Cecciola, the farm has other areas of cultivation across the Reggio Appennines including berries at Marola di Carpineti, and wheat at Castelnovo ne’ Monti. This gives the company its name “Agriappenino”, a reference to the fact that it produces high quality agricultural products across the whole Appennines, getting the best out of the various climates that the mountain range offers.
The chestnut farm is in a beautiful natural setting alongside the Liocca river, near an old water-powered mill. This recently reconstructed rural village allows you to enjoy the beauty of the countryside and purchase its classic regional products.
