Colle San Magno. Ancient Mountain Wheat

In the past, Ancient Mountain Wheat varieties were cultivated in the areas of high altitude in Colle San Magno.

Some seeds has survived until today thanks to some farmers who have preserved, and replanted some variety, and now crops cultivation has been re-established.

A unique feature, due to the altitude at which Colle San Magno is located, is the task of conservation of the seeds that is made possible by the isolation at which this enchanting village is located.
