Tosco's word
On the local-produce front, San Ottaviano clearly wins: honey, olive oil, barley, on-site raised beef and a farm restaurant, with a Note Toscane Cachée of 7.4 against 7.1 for Podere I Massoni, which farms its 400 hectares organically but names no products. The price is gentler at San Ottaviano, however (€391 a night versus €510), and both pools could suit a group. If you want farm produce you can taste and a more reasonable budget, go to San Ottaviano; if you're after sporting activities, organic farming over large estates, and villas for a family, Podere I Massoni has its charm.
