Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Tasting notes:

This artisanal extra virgin olive oil is a blend of Frantoio (40%), Moraiolo (30%), Leccino (25%), Pendolino (5%) sourced from an exceptional terroir. Handpicked and pressed at the estate in a totally oxygen-free environment, so it preserves its extraordinary sensory and nutritional properties. Intense on the nose with scent of artichoke. Elegant and with medium bitterness.

Producer description:

Fonterutoli is located near Siena on hills facing the Val d’Elsa, in the heart of Chianti Classico. Owned by the Mazzei family since 1435, Castello Fonterutoli promotes local varieties which express the identity of their land, while respecting nature and its diversity. The vineyards spread over 110 hectares divided on 144 single parcels with altitudes ranging from 220m to 570m. The estate is densily planted and produces very limited yields. Grapes are top quality making full-bodied wines with structure, balance and freshness.
