The best of the Valley
Murtoli's primary vocation lies in its farming activity. This agropastoral work is carried out with respect to the environment and its natural pace, to meet our daily needs and to offer our guests premium natural products such as honey, meat, vegetables, fruits, wood, flowers, and much more.
Free-range animals
The Valley was the domain of shepherds and it remains so. Our unique concept is based on the Ferme du Domaine, the essential source of all the meat served on our Tables.
For the last 30 years, we've been raising our animals with respect for tradition, opting for sustainable, extensive farming. Our Corsican and Aubrac cattle and lambs enjoy 6000 acres of free-range pasture, perfectly integrated into the landscape.
In addition to livestock production, the Farm also boasts a large vegetable garden and orchard, which provide us with vegetables, fruit and herbs, hundreds of olive trees for the production of our oils, vineyards and, last but not least, honey, the treasure of our maquis.
What a pleasure it is for our guests to visit the garden in the morning and pick their vegetables.
Behind the garden gate
Between rosemary and basil, the strawberries begin to blush. Aubergines blossom, purple in the green. Courgettes abound. Tomato bunches are beginning to ripen and beef hearts to swell. Later come squash, cabbage and winter vegetables, followed by lemons and mandarins bursting with vitamins. Baskets are available to serve you.
Treasure of the Farm
Our spring honey is harvested from vast stretches of maquis, from the sea to the mountains. It features all the complexity of maquis flowers, mainly white heather, sea lavender and broom.
Autumn honey, harvested from November onwards from the coast to the mountains, is composed mainly of arbutus associated with ivy, sarsaparilla, slimy inula... Its bitterness and woody aroma make it a highly distinctive honey.
The Domaine's wine project
Being part of the agricultural project, future wine production is scheduled for 2025, with the first bottling. We are privileged to cultivate our 10 hectares of vines in a remarkable natural environment.
The Murtoli vineyards conceal an extraordinary and diverse geology: granite, calc-alkaline Monzogranites, coastal sand and sandstone, and veins of acid rock.
Observing the cycles of the earth, sun and moon is the basis for making choices. The timing of pruning, debudding, tilling and harvesting. Yields are respected, and each terroir offers its purest.
Conscious of this capital, we have chosen to apply the method of Biodynamic Agriculture method. Our work consists of enhancing this extraordinary ecosystem in each of our plots, and improving each grape variety: Sciaccarellu, Vermentinu, Biancu Gentile, Grenache, Minustellu.
Biodynamic viticulture puts the emphasis on prophylaxis to support the vines and prevent the onset of disease.
These practices share a common goal: to naturally balance the plant by creating a link between the soil, the plant and the animal world, and making it more receptive to the earthly and cosmic environment.
