Frantoio

The farm mill operated from the middle ages until the 1970s.
It has recently been transformed into the tasting room, where some of the old machinery can still be seen.

For the production of extra virgin olive oil, we use the Società agricola Maggi oil mill in our own municipality because of the quality of pressing it guarantees.

Coppaia

It is the place where we store oil.

It derives its name from ‘coppi,’ the ancient earthenware jars where oil was once stored.
Today they have changed their function and house plants on our rooftop terrace.

The coppaia consists of small underground rooms excavated in medieval times in the sandstone, which ensure an optimal temperature for its storage throughout most of the year.

In winter we make use of a small heating system that keeps the temperature above 12° C, preventing the oil from freezing and losing flavor.
