Bees need to pollinate 2 million flowers to make 1 pound of honey, and 6 to 8 pound of honey to make 1 pound of wax.

Amid the forested hills of Il Nido Dei Venti, our bees gather nectar from chestnut blossoms, acacia and wildflower meadows to bring authentic character to our honey, reflecting the land. Harvested in Garfagnana by European honeybees (Apis mellifera), each jar blends the depth of chestnut, the sweetness of acacia, and the brightness of wildflowers. Within 100 kilometers of the hives, the bees also pollinate orchards and gardens, sustaining harvests and the estate’s natural balance. Raw, unpasteurized, and free of additives, this honey preserves its pure qualities — a quiet harmony of blossoms, bees, and landscape.

Aromatic Profile

Chestnut Blossom

Blooming chestnut flowers (Castanea sativa) give this honey its rich amber tone and bold character. Chestnut honey is darker and more intense than most varieties, with a strong herbal-woody aroma that reminds the forest — AROMATIC, RESINOUS, and SLIGHTLY PUNGENT.

Its flavor is rich and complex: earthy, spicy, and gently tannic, with subtle hints of toasted wood or malt beneath the surface sweetness. The bitterness is refined and mild, balanced by warmth and depth. The finish is long, with lingering notes of spice, bark, and wild herbs. This bold, mineral-rich honey pairs beautifully with aged cheeses, rustic breads, or savory dishes.

Wildflowers Blossom

Light golden in color, wildflower honey offers a sweet, floral aroma that reflects the diversity of blooms in Tuscan meadows. Its flavor is FRUITY, with gentle herbal-woody undertones. The taste is smooth, soft, and balanced — mild on the tongue with a delicate, lingering sweetness.

Texture & Finish

Both honeys are fluid yet gently viscous, coating the palate with a creamy, smooth mouthfeel. Wildflower honey ends on a soft, sweet note, while chestnut honey leaves a deeper, woody-spiced impression.
