Agrigourmet Intatto in Liguria

Liguria, a land of towering mountains and gentle hills colored by the green of Mediterranean and overlooking the Ligurian Sea with high and rugged coastline, has done just this its epicenter. Loved by Italian and foreign tourists, the region contains some of the most beautiful stretches of coast of the peninsula, one out of all the Cinque Terre, a jagged stretch of coast in the province of La Spezia, characterized by five villages overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Today Italian Traditions makes a stop precisely in the province of La Spezia, precisely in the small town of Calice al Cornoviglio, where, in 2012, came to life an interesting project that sees the prodigious commitment and passion of the chef Cosimo Bunicelli and his entire family.

Agrigourmet Intatto was born as a agritourism from the tiring but enthusiastic recovery of a great wasteland, an expanse of brambles with fruit trees and small grassy stretches where were then implanted the main crops, before the olive grove consisting of 120 plants of Razzola, Ligurian cultivars and later the vineyard, consisting of 300 plants divided mainly between Grenache and Syrah, and the vegetable garden. Buy a piece of land where build a house and devote himself to agriculture is the idea that gave the impetus to the birth of this little place where refinement, excellence and wonder landscape reign supreme. The need to enhance the agritourism, but especially the local area, offering something different to attract attention to a rather isolated and disadvantaged area, has led to the opening of the country, designed as a luxury mason dedicated exclusively to restaurants.
