In the heart of rural Abruzzo, Pollinaria integrates research programmes for artists and scientists with practices of organic [bio] farming that preserve and support local genetic patrimony. An 18th century farmhouse, restored with native and natural materials, constitutes the core of these activities, while simultaneously being a dwelling for travellers in search of unexplored itineraries. All cultivation of products is in line with the principles of organic farming in order to ensure the production of extra virgin olive oil that is 'DOP Aprutino Pescarese' or oil made from olives typical of the region of Pescara. The same principles apply to the production of cereals as well as Montepulciano and Trebbiano d’Abruzzo wines.
