Organic Farming in the Cinque Terre

For centuries the villages and vineyards of the Cinque Terre (pronounced "Chink-way Terr-ay") have been secluded from the rest of the world, allowing a distinct microcosm to develop, a home to vines that produced unique and delicious wines. However, the 20th century brought radical changes to the Cinque Terre and this exceptional heritage was dissipated. The social and economic changes of the past sixty years took their toll, leaving the old to tend the land as the young left to find better wages and a modern lifestyle in tourism or the city.

At the end of the last century, we and a very few others resolved that time-honoured traditions had to be saved and preserved. We founded BURANCO, a place of today that carries its distinct and ancient past with it.
