Overview
Since 1890 the Franceschi family has been setting the standard of excellence for Brunello in Montalcino. In its fifth generation, Il Poggione is known not only for outstanding Brunello, Rosso, and Rosato, but also for its focus on the environment and sustainability in the region. Just as subtle differences in grape source and vinification can profoundly influence the quality of a wine, there are factors that separate great olive oils from merely good ones... and this is a great Tuscan olive oil. Great Tuscan oil can only be made from tiny yields, and by harvesting early.
Aging
Process: Cold pressing in a continuous disc oil press.
Fermentation
In October and November, the olives are harvested by hand and then pressed in the farm's own olive press within few hours from the harvest.The olive oil is cold-pressed by continuous extraction in order to avoid any risk of external contamination and to ensure that all the nutrients and typical aromas and flavours of the olive oil are kept intact.
