Poggiotondo 2013
In Poggiotondo we produce Valloni and Le Rancole, two varieties of extra virgin olive oil named after their two different areas of production. The olives are mainly hand picked in late October (Le Rancole) and early November (Valloni). Then they are crushed and pressed, if possible, in the evening of the same day of picking. The oil is stocked in stainless steel containers, then it’s packaged either in 0.10, 0.25 or 0.50 Lt bottles or 3 or 5 Lt cans.
LE RANCOLE: a Moraiolo monocultivar produced from the olive trees located in the northern side of the estate at the foot of Casentino Valley. It is an oil with a pleasant bitter, spicy taste and a Rancole 2007 got the "Gran Menzione " in the category fruity medium. Prolonged artichoke flavour.
