The same hills, the same family, the same philosophy – what applies to the wine also applies to the oil. Around a thousand olive trees grow on the slopes of Monti in Chianti, mainly Correggiolo with some Moraiolo in between, in mixed cultivation with fruit trees according to old tradition. Marco Ricasoli Firidolfi harvests by hand before the olives are fully ripe – lower yields, but acidity levels below 0.2% and a wealth of polyphenols. The olives are pressed on the day of harvest, under nitrogen, to prevent any oxidation.

The result is a medium intense green colour in the glass: artichoke, radicchio, green olive, a hint of resin. Velvety on the palate with a fine bitter note, then that characteristic sharpness that warms the throat and testifies to freshness. With bruschetta, white beans or simply on its own – an oil that also defines Chianti Classico away from the vines. SUPERIORE.DE
