Agriturismo Uva Matta

An organic farm stay in the hills of Piacenza

Where the Val Nure rises into the first hills, we grow what you later find on the table and in the glass.

We are at Carmiano di Vigolzone, fifteen minutes from Piacenza. We pick our saffron by hand, flower by flower, and the wine comes from our own vines. Around it, the rooms and bed & breakfast for those who want to stay the night, a restaurant open to all, and the spaces for weddings, ceremonies and events in the countryside.

At the table

Piacenza cuisine, with a view over the Val Nure

Country starters, fresh pasta, meat mains and homemade desserts. Into the kitchen come the saffron, the vegetables and the wine of our farm, because for us organic is a rule. Our à la carte menu awaits you every day, by reservation.

Organic saffron

We sow and harvest it by hand, flower by flower at dawn, separating thread by thread. The red filament that colours and scents our dishes, and that you can take home.

Wine from our own vines

From the rows on the Piacenza slope come the local wines, to drink at the table with our food: honest reds and fresh whites, just as these hills make them.

The view

Summer evenings, among the vines

When the sun drops behind the hills, the light on the vines turns warm and orange. It is the hour for a glass on the terrace and dinner outdoors, with the valley in front of you and little else around.

Our family

The hands behind Uva Matta

Uva Matta is our family farm. Luca looks after the land, the saffron flower by flower and the vines; Shery is the cook, and brings to the table what grows here: the restaurant dishes and the celebration cakes. We welcome you where it all begins, in Carmiano di Vigolzone.
