DOPO’ 1 lt

32.00
Dop’ò is the fruit of the passion of those who protect a place beyond their hearts; it is a reward that nature bestows on those who so carefully preserve its fruits. A small jewel from the Oscar company, it bears the weighty name of an important recognition: the DOP, awarded to the “Itrana” olive variety. Pure Itrana, the essence of our territory, releases, in this extra virgin olive oil, all its lively vivacity in its aromas, while its unmistakable aroma of green tomato and aromatic herbs gives the product a distinctive and one-of-a-kind taste.

Vinification

During the fermentation in conical stainless steel tanks, extreme attention was given to an extraction aimed at fresh and fragrant aromas, full colors, and supple, elegant textures and tannins. Once the wine had been run off its skins at the end of the fermentation, it was put through a full malolactic fermentation in oak barrels to fully bring out the finesse and expressiveness of the aromas. The aging process, which lasted approximately 12-14 months, then began and took place in 60 gallon French and Hungarian oak barrels, partly new and partly used once previously.
