Beschreibung
The Péppoli olive oil is organic. In 1994, the estate decided to organize its production on the basis of the principles of organic agriculture, according to which products derived from chemical synthesis are not be utilized either for control of pests and plant diseases or for fertilizing. After a two-year period of time – that which is required by current legislation, one supervised by the Consortium for the Control of Biological Production, an organism authorized by the Italian Ministry for Agriculture and Forest Resources - during which cultivation was converted from conventional to organic practices and procedures, it was finally possible, in 1996, to obtain "biological certification" for the Pèppoli olive oil.

Die Familie Antinori widmet sich der Weinproduktion seit über sechshundert Jahren: seit dem Jahre 1385, als Giovanni di Piero Antinori in die Florentiner Zunft der Winzer und Weinhändler eintritt, um die Besitztümer der Familie im Gebiet von Valdarno, im Umland von Florenz, aufs bestmögliche zu nutzen.
Doch erst im 16. Jahrhundert machte der Bankier und Händler Alessandro Antinori die Weine seiner Weingüter in Italien und im Ausland berühmt, als er von Lyon nach Flandern und von Spanien nach Algier reiste.
Wein blieb bis zum heutigen Tage die Passion und das Hauptgeschäft der Familie. Im Jahre 1898 gründeten die Brüder Lodovico und Piero, die Söhne des Marchese Niccolò – ein direkter Nachkomme des anderen Niccolò, der 1506 den Palazzo Antinori erworben hatte und seine Hauptaugenmerk darauf gerichtet hatte, die Weine der Toskana weltweit bekannt zu machen und selbst wunderbare Weine zu erschaffen, die "Fattoria dei Marchesi Lodovico e Piero Antinori".
Während ihrer gesamten langen Geschichte über 26 Generationen hat die Familie das Geschäft stets direkt geleitet und innovative und oft mutige Entscheidungen getroffen, ohne jemals die Traditionen und die Region aus dem Blick zu verlieren.

| Harvest | The olives were picked from selected olive groves and harvested exclusively by hand before reaching full maturity then sent to the oil mill. |
| Production technique | Crushing took place within 12 hours of arrival at the mill. The production process began with the removal of leaves and stems with a mechanical separator then the olives were grinded into a paste with a hammermill. The paste was malaxed at a temperature of 20-22 °C (68-72 °F) for period of time that varied between 10 to 15 minutes to allow small oil droplets to ag-gregate into larger ones; they were separated from the paste and the oil was then extracted by decanter centrifugation. The extraction process was conducted at a low temperature, without the addition of water, to enhance the organoleptic and aromatic qualities. The extracted oil was meticulously selected to guarantee optimal quality and then stored in small stainless-steel tanks hermetically sealed under an inert gas atmosphere, protecting the oil from oxidation and other contaminants. |
