The small BELISARIO farm stands in a happy place for climate and perfumes.

They stretch out flat and undulating along the path of the Sciaura.
A river blessed for the quality of the water of constant flow, fresh and not very calcareous waters, necessary for the most prized crops of Sarconi IGP beans.
The original nucleus of the company, certainly smaller, suitable for a Curtense-type economy, historically dates back to the end of the 19th century.
Only recently with his grandfather Domenico, his son Mario and with the current operator, his grandson Domenico, did he find reasons and motivations for a production impulse that aims above all at quality.
