THE OLIVE OIL 2022
The “olio nuovo” is sweet, soft and spicy. Italian love to spread it on a piece of bread and call it “bruschetta”. It is very enjoyable fresh on a salad and not cooked.

The Montechiaro’ s villa was built in XVII century by Bianchi Bandinelli’ s family and later the Griccioli’s family acquired it thanks to the motherly branch. The building has an imposing dimension: the front, which overlooks the big garden, is composed of two floors decorated with frames. In the middle of the front is located the main door, set within a semicircular arch. The building conserved the same appearance from the age of Romagnoli, who painted the villa with the garden and the adjacent grove. The estate also has a small neo-classical chapel. The front of the building is defined by a tympanum and columns.
