Slightly rounded in shape and green in color, it differs from the Gaeta olive for its crispiness and its bold, delicious, and pungent flavor. It becomes a delicacy when scored or crushed and seasoned with extra virgin olive oil, aromatic herbs, garlic, and chili pepper. The olive is harvested when it has slightly turned brown, usually around December. It is aged for several months simply in water and salt, and is used in cooking primarily as an appetizer or to complement delicious aperitifs.

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.
