The farm

Our farm spreads over an area of approx. 14 hectares of land 9 of which consisting of olive-groves, 3 of sowable land and 2 of vineyard. The hilly location, the structure of the land, the excellent and sustained sun exposition as well as our experience al contribute to the production of top notch wine and olive-oil.
Olives are hand-picked in October-November; our 2200 olives yield about 1500 litres of olive-oil. Olives are milled at the latest within three days of picking to avoid even the smallest percentage of acidity.
The grape harvest is done in late September and in the wine cellar the Sangiovese and Cabernet must is fermented in oak barrels to yield in January the first nouveau wine. Our wine is a genuine, sincere and very traditional wine as no ageing process is involved and all quantities are used within the year. Our production is sold on site: for olive-oil reckon about 10 Euros a litre whilst wine is usually sold for about 3 Euros a bottle.
