Description
The brewery was set up at the end of 2004 in a beautiful farmhouse called “L’Olmaia” in Val D’Orcia, near Siena, Tuscany, initially as a small firm producing up to 300 litres per batch.
In 2009 it was relocated a few kilometers to the east in the area of Sant’Albino, near Montepulciano, where the products could be sold directly to the public. Throughout the year we produce 6 types of beer, plus some special seasonal beers, all of which are strictly unpasteurized, unfiltered and re-fermented, both in the keg and in the bottle. The production plant was built, according to our production needs, by the company Tefo of Parma, and it now has a production capacity of 2,500 litres per batch thanks to 4 cylindroconical fermentation tanks with a capacity of 2,500 litres and 2 with a capacity of 1,500 litres.
Inside the Brewery you can find the Tap Room with 6 beers on tap, cold cuts, cheeses and bottled beers.

Bottle. Aroma fruity, red berries, roasted. Clear dark brown colour. Taste is dry, lots of roasted, ashy, burnt. Lacks a bit of balance, not really easily drinkable. Rather average.

On tap @La Tana (Rome). Golden color with a medium white head. Aroma of orange peel, citrus, grapefruit, nice but a little bit monotonous. Flavour is medium bitter, still orange peel and citrus, dry in the end with a little astringency. Low body, medium carbonation. Ok, but nothing special.
