The Podere, at 196 of the Strada Provinciale Bolgherese, a few kilometers from the famous Viale dei Cipressi and Castagneto Carducci in the province of Livorno, Tuscany, has been the vacation home of the family of Silvia Cirri, the majority shareholder and CEO of the company, since the 1980s. It is located in the center of a 3.8-hectare basin with 800 olive trees, some of which are centuries-old, of the typically Tuscan varieties Leccino, Frantoio and Moraiolo, among whose rows in 2015 0.2 hectares of Cabernet Franc were planted.
The production of the oil, started by Silvia's mother, has been conducted since the very beginning using organic farming and the Extra Virgin Olive Oil Organic IGP Toscano now also boasts the new territorial denomination Bolgheri. Read more
