New olive oil 2017

As every year, autumn has arrived, and so in the coming days Marchesi Gondi – Tenuta Bossi will begin the hand harvest of the olives from its 7,000 trees of the Frantoio and Moraiolo varieties. Every 12 hours the olives will be pressed and the resulting oil filtered; you will be able to come and taste it and buy it at the estate from 15 November.

You will recognise Marchesi Gondi extra virgin olive oil by its appearance: a brilliant green with faint emerald highlights; nose: moderately intense, with a suggestion of grassiness and green apple on the finish; palate: strong at first with notes of artichoke, yet slightly peppery on the finish, closing on fresh, herbaceous notes.
