Orsina | Gastronomy
The manor’s dining room, and a terrace above the valley. The menu will be written each morning, from what the garden gave.
Nature Writes The Menu
Nature writes the menu. We take the dictation.
She wrote the finest cookbook there is. In summer, a plate of tomatoes that need nothing but oil and salt, or saffron courgettes with almonds, crisp oregano and Tuscan yogurt salsa. In winter, grilled radicchio with rosemary, wild capers and pomegranate vinaigrette, or a celeriac parmigiana slow-baked since morning.
The vegetable is the centre of the plate. The rest of the ingredients are chosen to suit.
Three settings, three ways to enjoy the estate, and the same soil arrives at each.
Orsina, on the terrace above the valley, where the light fades and dinner runs late. Follonico, at the pool, where the afternoon goes slowly. Zabella, in the cellar, for the wine and what Tuscany takes as aperitivo or apericena.
Some evenings we welcome you at one long table only, shared by guests, neighbours and locals.

An infinity pool that runs toward Montepulciano. Sun-drenched flavours, cold drinks, and a Tuscan afternoon with nowhere to be.
Set into the soil, open to the valley. Biodynamic wines from growers we know personally. Served with taglieri, and warm focaccia.
