Badia a Coltibuono
The first Tuscan extra virgin olive oil imported to the U.S., pressed on an estate farmed since the 11th century.
THE STORY
SIX GENERATIONS IN THE HEART OF CHIANTI
Benedictine monks first planted vines and olives on this land in 1051. By the late 1950s, Piero Stucchi Prinetti began bottling the estate's Chianti Classico and, soon after, its olive oil — treating it with the same care as fine wine. DeMedici began importing Badia a Coltibuono in 1979, the first Tuscan extra virgin olive oil marketed nationally in the U.S. Today the Stucchi Prinetti family's sixth generation still farms these groves above the Arno Valley.
HERITAGE
Olives and vines planted by Benedictine monks in 1051 — six generations of the Stucchi Prinetti family have farmed them since.
INNOVATION
They began eliminating herbicides and pesticides in 1985, years before organic certification existed as a category.
TERROIR
Frantoio, Leccino, Leccio del Corno, Maurino and Pendolino grown 450–520m above the Arno Valley.
"Widely considered the benchmark Tuscan extra virgin olive oil — the standard by which all others are judged." — The Stucchi Prinetti Family
