WINE
Our wine grows in the soil of the hills of Chianti Classico at an altitude between 300 and 400m above sea level.
Chianti Classico has to mature in oak casks, this maturing process and the ensuing storage in bottles before the wine is actually consumed, results in the wonderful and typical bouquet.
The traditional Chianti taste stems from the presence of app. 80% of San Giovese grapes, and the fruity company of Malvasia and Canaiolo grapes, a small part of Merlot and Cabernet are perfectly rounding off the taste, while a little addition of Trebbiano completes the bouquet.

OLIVE OIL
Our olive trees yield an oil of exceptional high quality: the acid content is less than 0,5% and makes this natural product an ideal addition to refined dishes, snacks, salads and many more.
The slightly green colour is the mark of high quality. The taste remains unchanged for many months, which guarantees constant quality while you are using it.
Please store in a dark and cool place!
Glass bottles are the best containers for olive oil, dark bottles are better than light ones. We have bottles of 750ml, 500ml, 250ml and 100ml available.
Our oil has been certified as "Olio extra Vergine di Oliva D.O. C." by the Consorzio Chianti Classico.
