Vineyards cover approximately 50 hectares, while 30 hectares are dedicated to olive growing. The estate is surrounded by bucolic scenery that extends across rolling hills with the River Orcia to the south and Mount Amiata in the background. The estate's olive grove includes centuries-old trees of the indigenous Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo, and Olivastra varieties, grown organically with respect for the environment and biodiversity. Harvesting is done by hand, followed by cold pressing. Yields are relatively low, resulting in an intense oil of exceptional quality with excellent organoleptic properties. The Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona extra virgin olive oil reveals a bright and intense emerald green color with golden highlights. Its aromatic profile is fragrant and persistent, with fruity notes, followed by herbaceous and artichoke hints on a bitter almond background. On the palate, it initially takes on a delicate and velvety character, later revealing a spicy and piquant note, typical of high-quality Tuscan oils. It is flavorful and smooth, with a recurring note of artichoke and a gently bitter aftertaste. Try it on toasted bread or with grilled meat and hearty legume soups.
