In an elegant, country-house setting, Terraforte occupies an old hay barn on the beautiful, vast Il Terriccio estate, where 1 500 hectares of tranquil, bucolic Tuscan landscapes are home to horses, olive trees and the estate’s renowned vineyards (Lupicaia wines). The cuisine focuses on zero-mile ingredients, with an exclusive use of produce sourced from the estate, including beef, game, chicken, vegetables, aromatic herbs and excellent wine. The two menus (three or seven courses) showcase imaginative and well-balanced dishes which never lose the clean, decisive flavours of their top-quality ingredients. In fine weather, don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy the charming outdoor space and even, perhaps, spend a night on the estate by staying at the La Marrana  villa.
