Hunting

Total surface area of the farm is about 500 hectares.

Situated between 300 and 450 meters altitude.

Crossed by two rivers: the Muccione that borders the property on the northwest side, and the Pesciola that crosses almost centrally through the reserve.

The environment of the reserve is among the most varied: pastures, woods, hills, mountains, large canals, vinyards, olive groves, chestnut groves, orchards and cultivated, leveled fields of corn, wheat, sunflower, and various fodders.

It is subdived into 7 hunting zones, each of which offers different landscapes and itineraries:

1. Zone Lago (“Lake”) : a hilly area, extremely panoramic, with olive groves, woods and cultivated fields for game. Characterized by the lake, where the group duck hunts take place: ideal also for pheasants.
2. Zone Vigne (“Vinyard”) : Completely level zone formed by abundant vinyards, where a particular environment for partridge and grey partridge hunting has been recreated.
3. Zone Beccaccia (“Woodcock”) : Level and characterized by a stream that crosses the land and divides it into two canals; adapted for pheasants and partridge.
4. Zone Rigola : Slightly steep, more difficult to hunt but equally beautiful, this zone is characterized by olive groves, woods and by the river Miccione.
5. Zone Recinto (“Enclosed”): Placed just under the mountains, formed by a wood, it is the ideal atmosphere for wild boar hunting.
6. Zone Dierti : Formed by large vinyards and pastures, ideal for partridge and grey partridge hunting.
7. Zone Oliveta (“Olive grove”) : Crossed by the river Pesciola, hilly, with olive cultivation and fields adapted for game hunting, ideal for pheasant, partridge, and grey partridge.

The hunters’ meeting place is the hunting house “Farneto”.
