Five and a half hectares of medium-texture clayey soil, with plenty of stones; excellent aspect, at an average altitude of 500m above sea level: the best possible production conditions which, along with suitable agronomical choices (minimal cultivation of the land; early harvesting; no use of chemical products), guarantee the highest quality olives. <\/h5><\/blockquote>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_separator type=”normal” position=”center” up=”50″ down=”50″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Chianti Classico D.o.p.<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” position=”center” up=”50″ down=”50″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

We have grown olives and made them into extra-virgin olive oil for three generations. In our Ceppeto olive groves we pick the Moraiolo, Frantoio and Leccino olives and cold press them within twenty-four hours. This is how we obtain our\u00a0Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Chianti Classico D.o.p.<\/span>,<\/strong>\u00a0with its bright golden yellow colour and brilliant green hues, intense aroma and full-bodied texture. A well-balanced oil with a tangy flavour, pleasantly bitter and piquant, typical of the area of origin: Gaiole in Chianti. Here, our ancient olive groves are cultivated on terraces with dry stone walls, without the use of chemicals. The production of each tree is limited in order to obtain the very best of its fruits.<\/p>\n
