“Lavanda del Chianti” has obtained the recognition for its business ability to accomplish the entire production chain: nursery, crops, distillation, cosmetics formulation, teaching and training activities, quality certification and validation of cosmetic claims.
The particular setting in which it has been operating since 1962: Crops of Medicinal, Aromatic and Perfume plants are transformed into Essential Oils, Cosmetics and Botanicals in our laboratories and intended for several business sectors.
In an area such as Chianti, where the the cultivation of grapevines and olive trees dominates, it has become original to find roses and brooms, rosemary and juniper crops, lavender and thyme. Aromatic plants whose scent, on some windy days, starting from this hill goes far and speaks of Casalvento.
