Forests

The woods are one of the Amiata's features and thanks to the work of the Consorzio forestale dell'Amiata, these were the first in Italy to receive a certificate for sustainable forest management under the PEFC scheme. This recognition, quite apart from rewarding the responsible management of our woods and creating much greater awareness of environmental sustainability, served to promote the whole area and helped to bring the quality and value of local products to people's notice and create a direct link between the product and the environment.
