Extra virgin olive oil
Extra virgin olive oil, a blend of Moraiole, Leccine, and Frantoio olives, with a deep green color and a scent of wild grass and artichoke. It has an intense, pleasantly spicy flavor. The climate, characterized by low winter temperatures and very hot summers, is a critical condition for olive cultivation, while also inhibiting the reproduction of the plant's main parasites. These soil and climatic conditions, relatively poor soil, and a climate at the limit of the plant's survival, allow us to produce a high-quality extra virgin olive oil, while fully respecting the natural balance.

Wine
An ancient grape variety, its grapes are carefully selected through green pruning, which involves thinning the vine while the bunches are still green. This allows the plant to concentrate its energy, allowing the remaining fruit to reach full ripeness. Our red and white wines perfectly reflect the character of the terroir with their distinctive flavors.
Red wine
