Descripción
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.

Sin embargo, fue con el siglo XVI cuando Alessandro Antinori, banquero y comerciante, dio a conocer el vino de sus fincas tanto en Italia como en el extranjero, viajando de Lyon a Flandes, de España a Argel.
El vino siguió siendo la pasión y la actividad principal de la familia hasta el punto de que en 1898 se fundó la "Fattoria dei Marchesi Lodovico e Piero Antinori" por los dos hermanos Lodovico y Piero, hijos del marqués Niccolò - descendiente directo de aquel Niccolò que en 1506 había comprado el Palazzo Antinori y que ya había hecho mucho por dar a conocer los vinos toscanos en todo el mundo y convertirlos en un producto de alta calidad. Durante 26 generaciones, la familia Antinori ha continuado esa historia. En 2023, a principios de febrero, Villa Antinori Toscana IGT 2019 fue nombrado el tercer vino del mundo, el único italiano, en el Top 10 Values 2022 de Wine Specator: la lista de los 10 vinos que, según la revista estadounidense, representan la excelencia mundial en términos de relación calidad-precio.

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. |
