Nonno Mariano Harvest 2024

Mariano Mancini (Monte San Pietrangeli, 1908 - 2013) was a curious farmer and an innovative entrepreneur.He was also a kind-hearted grandfather, who shared and passed down his passions to a grandson who was willing and able to embrace them.

Mariano surely planted a seed in the mind of his grandson Massimo, founder of Mancini Pastificio Agricolo.Today, what is left of Mariano Mancini is not just his memory: “Nonno Mariano” [lit. “Grandfather Mariano”] is also a new variety of durum wheat.

Developed through a research that lasted for about 7 years, this wheat variety is the tribute to the man who inspired the “Mancini Pastificio Agricolo” project. 

Today, the Nonno Mariano box returns in a limited edition and in a new look, to celebrate the beauty of the Harvest 2024.

For all those who are curious to know the story of Nonno Mariano and our history, this box holds the tale with a small 'taste' of it.

The exclusive ‘Harvest 2024’ box , numbered in 1105 copies, includes:

• 1500 g of semi whole wheat spaghetti made from the ‘Nonno Mariano’ variety, extruded through bronze dies and slowly dried at low temperature (up to 46 °C) for 36 hours. The spaghetti are contained in 2 removable boxes of 750 g each.
  
• The book Nonno Mariano (short tale based on a true story)
