75cl Bottle
On the hills above the vineyards of Carmignano is Tenuta di Capezzana, a classic medieval estate that has produced olive oil since 804 AD. At Capezzana, olives are harvested at the perfect stage of ripeness and are immediately crushed in a stone mill. The traditional pressing of olive paste through fibre mats has been replaced by centrifugal decanting. Prompt crushing helps avoid a buildup of noxious olive stock in the machinery, while the elimination of fibre disks keeps pollutants to a minimum, which guarantees the purity of the oil.
Capezzana's improved processing produces an extra virgin olive oil remarkably low in oleic acid, which enhances the flavour and transparancy because sediment particles are very small. This unfiltered oil is of rare character and personality, a nearly perfect balance of fruity and bitter olive flavours. It has a golden green colour, a fresh and zingy olive aroma, and a light and smooth texture. It's many layers of flavour linger in a long finish.
