Albereto Extra Virgin Olive Oil IGP Toscano

A PORTION OF BADIA A COLTIBUONO’S OLIVE GROVE AT PODERE ALBERETO, OVERLOOKING THE ARNO RIVER VALLEY, IS DEDICATED TO THE PRODUCTION OF THIS ORGANIC OIL. Pressed immediately after harvest to achieve the full expression of this rare oil’s aroma and flavor. Production is limited.

CULTIVARS: 100% estate grown, EU Certified Organic Maurino with Frantoio, Pendolino and Leccio del Corno.

NOTES: This IGP Tuscan olive oil is a brilliant green-gold color. The aroma is very intense and fresh. Notes of freshly cut grass, artichoke, aromatic herbs such as thyme and oregano. It is wellbalanced, with a very slight bitter note, a decisive peppery note and a very clean aftertaste.

PAIRINGS: On grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with sliced tomatoes and arugula, lavished on grilled vegetables as antipasti, to dress a chickpea salad or to anoint beef carpaccio with Parmigiano and porcini.

THE HISTORIC ESTATE WAS ESTABLISHED AS A MONASTERY IN 1058. The monks grew vines and olives. Since 1846 it has been tended to by six generations of the Stucchi Prinetti family. In 1962 Piero Stucchi Prinetti realized the potential of the estate’s extra virgin olive oil. He treated his oil production just like his fine wine, taking care in the selection of the fruit and pressing it immediately after harvesting.
