Description
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.

Mais c'est au XVIe siècle qu'Alessandro Antinori, banquier et négociant, fait connaître le vin de ses domaines en Italie et à l'étranger, voyageant de Lyon aux Flandres, de l'Espagne à Alger.
Le vin est resté la passion et l'activité principale de la famille au point qu'en 1898, la "Fattoria dei Marchesi Lodovico e Piero Antinori" a été fondée par les deux frères Lodovico et Piero, fils du marquis Niccolò - descendant direct de ce Niccolò qui, en 1506, avait acheté le Palazzo Antinori et qui avait déjà beaucoup fait pour faire connaître les vins toscans dans le monde entier et en faire un produit de haute qualité. En 2023, au début du mois de février, Villa Antinori Toscana IGT 2019 a été nommé troisième vin au monde, le seul vin italien, dans le Top 10 Values 2022 du Wine Specator : la liste des 10 vins qui, selon le magazine américain, représentent l'excellence mondiale en termes de rapport qualité-prix.

| 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. |
