Le Spiazzette

Le Spiazzette gathers 150 years of passion for the land. Here, nature is transformed and preserved using traditional methods to ensure quality, taste, and respect for the environment.

Le Spiazzette is a place where time has stopped. Here, the tastes and flavors of tradition are rediscovered, the fruits of the land that would have been forgotten. The Mela Rosa dei Monti Sibillini, corniole cherries, and wild plum return to be known through the jams and preserves we make by personally picking the fruits from the trees and bushes in the forests that border the orchards. An ethical choice, difficult and courageous, but made with the heart of those who know their products will be tasted and appreciated. Le Spiazzette is also a place of historical memory. The name “Le Spiazzette” comes from the legend that tells of the descent of the Sibylline fairies to dance with the local young people. They danced in the fields and formed “the spots” with their dances. 

THE SIBILLINI MOUNTAINS

The orchards of the farm overlook the Sibillini Mountains, a treasure chest of mythology and nature. Just the name of the mountain range brings to mind the legend of the Sibyl, a figure present in Greek, Roman, and Christian mythology with prophetic abilities. Since 1993, the Sibillini Mountains have been a National Park.

THE MELA ROSA, SLOW FOOD PRESIDIO

The Mela Rosa is a traditional variety throughout the foothill area of central Italy. The most widespread and traditional biotope can be found in the pre-Apennine area of the Sibillini Mountains. The natural resistance of the Mela Rosa dei Monti Sibillini to phytopathies and insects is due both to the particular geographical location of the production context and thus the climate, and to its genetic characteristics. The peculiar climatic conditions of the Sibillini Mountains area, first among them the daily and seasonal temperature fluctuations, positively affect the organoleptic characteristics of the product, making it unique and absolutely different from the fruit cultivated in the plains.
