We planted our first vines back in the early ’70s in the townland of San Paolo di Jesi, the classic production area for Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi. In the early ’90s we began planting olive tree saplings in the townland of Cupramontana and the quality and quantity of fruit produced an extra virgin olive oil ripe for bottling.
Verdicchio is combined with the extra virgin olive oil, produced by an olive grove planted in the 90s, in the territory of Cupramontana, where the tradition of olive has been rooted for centuries: we can find references to olive oil and its quality already in the the medieval period. Variety, climate and soil are the factors which determine the particular sensory characteristics of the extra virgin oil Benforte.
