Morning light sifts through silver-green olive leaves as you arrive at a working Umbrian farmhouse—flour dust on wooden tables, a chef’s hands folding dough, and tractors parked under cypress shade. The day begins here, with a guided walk through grain, mill, and the small-scale processes that turn wheat into the regional flours used for hand-made pasta.
