The Raggiolo – called Correggiolo in Tuscany – is one of the oldest and most widespread olive varieties in the region. A variety with character, it bears small, slightly asymmetrical fruit and ripens late, making harvest time a test of patience. Felsina's oldest trees have been standing since the 1960s, while the youngest were planted in the 1980s – all in the three groves of Fèlsina, Pagliarese and Boschi, which together form the estate's terroir mosaic. Like all Felsina monocultivar oils, the Correggiolo is harvested separately when the variety has reached its optimum ripeness. Within four hours, the olives are taken to the in-house mill, pitted and pressed from the pulp only (denocciolato) – at a constant 25 degrees. The oil is then stored under exclusion of air in stainless steel tanks and is only vacuum-bottled when ordered: it couldn't be fresher.

The colour in the glass is a bright green with dark, intense tones. The nose is powerful and unmistakably Tuscan: freshly mown grass, rocket, artichoke and hints of rosemary and mint. Complex and full-bodied on the palate, with notes of black pepper and artichoke that develop into a long, medium-bitter, spicy finish. An oil for classic Tuscan cuisine: ribollita, pulses, grilled meat – wherever an oil with backbone is required. SUPERIORE.DE
