Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500ml 2025

Located at Monti in Chianti (Gaiole), considered one of the region’s grand crus, Rocca di Montegrossi is named after the historic fortress (La Rocca) built by Marco’s ancestor, Geremia, during the Longobard period (600-800 AD). Marco is part of the Ricasoli family that wrote the story of Chianti Classico, creating the formula for the wine we know today at the site of what is now his San Marcellino vineyard. The soil here is incredibly rocky, forcing the roots deep and resulting in naturally low yields. Marco farms organically and has built his own large cisterns to gather rainwater, along with using biofuel for machinery.

Rocca di Montegrossi’s oil is produced from Coreggiolo and Maraiolo olives, harvested in late October. Yields are extremely low - in part due to the soil, in part to the age of the trees - and the fruit is processed at cold temperature immediately after harvesting. The oil is luminous green with an intense, fruity perfume. Spicy with notes of artichoke and a touch of green apple.
