he date of construction of this farm dates back to 1857. At the beginning of 1900 the Centopino farm was sold by Cleonte Giorgi to Pasquale Francioli and Filomena Micheletti. At their death, the place passed by inheritance to Francioli Gino, father of the current owner Francioli Gina. The oldest document that bears the toponym Centopino is the cadastre of 1427. Following is the quotation of this cadastre: Sustanzie by Paolo di Piero called Paldozo: << A vineyard in centopino with tera lavoratia staia 1 and casalino estimate lire 40 >>.
In the year 1998 the farmhouse Villa Centopino was reduced to an abandoned ruin and the fields used for the cultivation of cereals (corn, wheat, sunflowers). At the beginning of 1999 the Tuscan Centopino villa has been renovated in rustic style by Gina Francioli and Gianfranco Cambi, a part of the surrounding fields (clayey) once drained, have been transformed into beautiful orchards, in the remaining fields were planted 600 new olive trees, in addition to the few centuries-old olive trees that had survived the frost of 1986. The farm today looks like a villa in the middle of a green lawn that leads: on the right to the orchards (apple, peach, cherry, plum trees, figs, peri etc ..) and on the left to a large olive grove. Centopino is one of the 150 companies that obtained the quality label in 2006. The extra virgin olive oil produced by the family farm is classified as PGI and has an acidity of less than 1%. The fertilizers used are absolutely biological, moreover the ban on the use of chemical pesticides or poisons, brings to the final product a result of excellence, both in terms of flavor and naturalness. The organic farm mark obtained is a demonstration of the environmental choice desired by the Tuscany villa Centopino.
