The particular position of the land, the microclimate conditions, the intersection of the libeccio and tramontana winds allow the production and selection of a hard seed, capable of great results in pasta making, obtaining the plant patent for the “Monterosso Select” seed from the Ministry.
The love for the land and the deep-rooted relationship with nature allow Monterosso to produce a unique farro, essential for a correct and healthy diet.
