La Maialina celebrates the history, culture, and cuisine of Tuscany, famed for its beautiful landscape marked with green, gentle hill covered vineyards, olive groves and cypress trees. Settled first by Etruscan then the Romans, the territory has been prized since antiquity for its rich soil and favorable climate for the cultivation of grapes and olives. The name ‘La Maialina’ (little pig) references the Cinta Senese heirloom breed that originated in the Siena area during the 1300’s and is the only Tuscan native pig to survive extinction.
