Agristart

From Montaione, nestled in the hills of central Tuscany, Agristart carries on an agricultural tradition refined over eight generations of the Tognetti family, spread across properties with diverse vocations. The heart of their work is the Cinta Senese DOP, a pig breed with a distinctive striped coat, raised in a semi-wild regime within the 273 Tuscan municipalities that comprise the denomination. Their method harmonizes two key aspects: a deep understanding of the animal and its needs, and transparent control over the entire supply chain. This ensures that regional agricultural custom translates into verifiable quality, not just a simple claim. It's an approach that connects pastures to woodlands, natural feeding to the slow pace of free-range farming, resulting in meats with a distinct character. Visitors to the farm can experience this intricate balance firsthand: on-site tastings and guided tours open the doors to the breeding areas, showcasing how the breed is managed in the field. It's well worth a visit to understand, amidst the pens and tastings, what truly distinguishes Cinta Senese from conventional pork production.
