Why not take a day out to visit the nearby areas of Azienda Lucignanello Bandini,  perfect for olive growing. On the hillsides between Lucignano, Montisi, Trequanda and Castelmuzio, where the quality of the soil, the dry air and light breeze ensure that no chemical treatments are required to obtain an optimal crop of fruit are grown the olives used to produce the farm's olive oil.  Frantoio or Correggiolo, Leccino, Moraiolo and Pendolino are the olives produced by the olive-grove of Lucignano d’Asso. The  extra virgin olive oil produced at the Azienda come from those qualities of olives.
The "Azienda Lucignanello Bandini" is rightly proud of the award-winning cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil obtained from olives grown on the family property at Lucignano d'Asso.
Also you may want to visit the wineries of the region like  "Crete Senesi" and the neighbouring Val d'Orcia which have largely remained true to their early agricultural vocation. Today this means local products of outstanding quality, made with traditional methods and skills that are handed down from father to son.
Likewise, you may want to visit the  Pecorino area. This cheeses made with ewe's milk from the Pienza pastures are now in demand among gourmets at home and abroad.

The medieval village of S.Giovanni d' Asso rises in the heart of the 'Crete Senesi' and 'white truffle' territory. It is a beautiful medieval small village worth to have a look around. Its castle located at the top of a hill, overlooking the Asso River valley, is probably to be included amongst the properties belonging to the Imperial Officers, however in the ancient times it was the seat of a rural Etruscan settlement. The old defensive structures around the village, which grew up alongside the castle, have almost completely disappeared, except for a large tower. The Castle is however well preserved and located in the higher part of the town, called 'Borghetto' [Hamlet], its origin dates back to the 13th and 14th centuries.
If you want to go a little further, why not visit Siena, located not far from the Azienda Lucingnanello Bandini  estate which is one of the finest examples of a medieval city,  born on three hills and enclosed by walls. It  is an interesting place to visit. Over the centuries it has kept its typical medieval appearance untouched, with narrow alleys and noble palaces, surrounded by a beautiful hill landscape. On the way there, nothing can surpass the exquisite beauty of the countryside: it is breathtaking. If you meander into the hilltowns of Tuscany any time of the year, all your senses are rewarded with the splendors that this enchanting area of Italy has to offer.
