OST can also be transformed into a gift, thanks to the possibility of purchasing non-nominal vouchers.

OST is a project by Love Casentino, a non-profit social promotion association registered with the RUNTS. Part of the proceeds will be donated to AVIS Casentino, while the remainder will support Love Casentino's activities to promote and enhance the area.

The project is sponsored by the municipalities of Bibbiena, Poppi, and Pratovecchio-Stia, and enjoys the support of the Casentino Winegrowers' Association and Preludio Rental Division, as well as food and wine critic and journalist Leonardo Romanelli.
