LANDSCAPE
"We would like our produce to respects
nature and humans alike, returning to
the tradition of the organic method and
enhancing the enormous cultural
heritage of the Mediterranean that is
best expressed in its food", but not only.
Tenuta Cirrincione believes in the
protection of the rural landscape and
plans to re-functionalise the ancient
paths cutting across the property to
make them the very arteries on which
to tell visitors the story of their
vegetable metropolis. The new
company plants follow this plan,
together with that of preventing
hydrogeological instability.
VALUES AND STANDARDS
Tenuta Cirrincione is a member of
Simenza - Cumpagnìa Siciliana Sementi
Contadine, a 100+ business association
focusing on biodiversity, short supply
chains, regenerative agriculture and
sustainable distribution.
SCALABILITY AND RESILIENCE
“We aim for qualitative scalability. We
want to exaggerate with craftsmanship,
putting a lot of value in our products”
Alfonsa points out. "For the future, we
aim to increase crop diversification in line
with the Community guidelines of the
Common Agricultural Policy, aiming at
niche productions".
"We do not know yet how to deal with the
Covid-related economic crisis or, indeed
other ones. Having started from scratch,
we have lived and are living it all with
gratitude. Our experience is not unique:
there are those who do what we started
before us and better than us. All virtuous
businees are precious examples for us,
even if we have obviously remodelled the
business modelto make the most of our
idea of agriculture and food. The fact that
they customers appreciate us pays us
back of our efforts and is quite humbling
”concludes Mariangela.
