Production Tecniques
The oil we produce is an extraordinary blend crafted from olives grown exclusively on our family estates, all located in the municipality of Castellina in Chianti. Our olive groves currently host approximately 6,000 trees, all in full production and carefully renewed over the years as part of a major project to protect the land and ensure ever-increasing oil quality.
The olives are hand-picked and pressed on the same day, transforming into oil within just a few hours. This is achieved using an innovative mill that performs cold extraction with the utmost care and in a completely oxygen-free environment to preserve the oil's exceptional organoleptic properties. Every step of the production process is meticulously supervised, adhering strictly to the regulations for Organic and Chianti Classico DOP certification. This dedication, combined with the expertise of our collaborators, guarantees a product of unparalleled quality.
Organoleptic Characteristics
The result is an oil with an intense fruity flavor, complemented by a spicy and slightly bitter note. On the nose, it reveals predominant hints of thistle leaf, while the taste brings out notes of fresh artichoke, finishing with a delicate almond touch. Overall, it is clean and harmonious.
Color: clear deep gold
Bouquet: fresh and fruity with pleasant notes of hay and olive
Taste: smooth and well balanced with note of artichoke
Producer’s Recommendation
A very good companion of the tasty traditional Tuscan cousine, can be better appreciated drizzled raw over soups, meats, vegetables or ‘bruschette’.
