Diaccialone: Wine Production and Agricultural History

At Agriturismo Collelungo di Maremma, wine production and the history of an agricultural estate take center stage. The history of the Il Diaccialone business leads to a distinct topic, the breeding of Maremma cattle; in Maiano Lavacchio, an annual commemorative ceremony shapes the culture of remembrance.

Wine production at Agriturismo Collelungo

Agriturismo Collelungo di Maremma includes a one-hectare vineyard in the DOCG Morellino di Scansano region. The property can also arrange guided visits to Morellino di Scansano wineries in the surrounding area; this option is available to guests staying at the agriturismo. The vineyard reflects the property’s agricultural roots, while the guided visits take you to wineries nearby. If you would like to make wine the focus of your trip, you can plan these as two separate activities and check whether an organized activity during your stay fits your itinerary.

Agricultural history and former uses

Agriturismo Collelungo is located in a former local school building and on an agricultural estate whose roots date back to 1980. This brings together two distinct historical connections: the building’s former use as a school and the estate’s history. Another agricultural history is that of the Il Diaccialone business: it began as a 640-hectare operation acquired in 1962 for breeding Maremma cattle. The size and purpose of this operation give it a clear connection to livestock farming, while Collelungo represents wine production and the history of an estate. If the history of your accommodation is also a factor in your choice, you can consider these backgrounds as a separate selection criterion.

The culture of remembrance in Maiano Lavacchio

An official ceremony commemorating the massacre is held in Maiano Lavacchio every year. Casa della Memoria al Futuro in Maiano Lavacchio is part of the “Paesaggi della Memoria” network. The ceremony and Casa’s membership in the network are distinct cultural points of reference: the ceremony takes place annually, while the network places Casa within a named context of remembrance. If you would like to include the commemorative ceremony in your trip, check the specific event date when planning and time your visit to coincide with the occasion.

Getting there and planning activities

Agriturismo Collelungo can be reached via Strada Provinciale No. 79 di Poggio alla Mozza at kilometer 12.700. The road name and kilometer marker give you specific directions for getting there; check this destination information against your route before you leave.

There is a circular cycling route in the Scansano and Magliano in Toscana area. If cycling is one of your vacation interests, you can include it as a separate activity in your trip to Tuscany. It offers a different way to spend your vacation than a guided winery visit, which is tied to a stay at the agriturismo. Check the route separately when planning your daily activities.
