Umbrian Bison
The Return of the King
After 14,000 years, Bison returns to Umbria.
The Supplier
Carni Pregiate Massimiliano Gatti
The First and Only Bison Farm in Italy
This is no exotic novelty — it is a return to origins. Fossils of Bison Priscus, the ancestor of the modern bison, were discovered near Lake Trasimeno.
Massimiliano Gatti, a young Umbrian entrepreneur, fulfilled his dream on the slopes of Panicale. His bison roam free, grazing on natural pastures, in a project that blends history, territory and innovation.
"The love I feel for Bison demands a deep respect for this animal. Respect that has become the foremost value..."
— Massimiliano Gatti
A special thanks to Massimiliano Gatti for allowing us to offer this unique excellence to our guests.
