Extra virgin olive oil Poggio Stenti
The Poggio Stenti olive grove extends for a hectare all around the farm and produces Leccino and Frantoiano olives. The oil obtained is the fruit of the selection and of the blend of the best of these olives, which are all strictly picked by hand. Its aroma tells the story of a long tradition that dates back to ancient times. Poggio Stenti extra virgin olive oil contains all the perfumes and flavours of this sweet and sunny land.
Bright greenish colour with luminous golden highlights. Great fruity and herbaceous intensity in the nose, with notes of green almond, thistle and dill to enhance the overall effect. In the mouth there is a sense of integrity, balance between the taste components and a savoury sensation, with a persistent and spicily suave finish.
THE SAFFRON: The red gold of the Val d’Orcia
Eleonora, the youngest of the Pieri family, has recently embarked on a new adventure, reviving the tradition of saffron cultivation. Grown with full respect for the land and nature, Eleonora’s Saffron thrives in Montenero d’Orcia, a small village at the foot of Mount Amiata, on a plot of land inherited from her maternal grandparents, Renato and Iole. Using only natural fertilizers, the saffron flowers produce particularly vibrant stigmas with superior aromatic potency due to their high content of safranal and natural antioxidants. This results in an unparalleled, perfectly balanced flavor. Every morning, from October to November, the flowers are harvested before the sun rises and causes them to bloom, ensuring that the precious stigmas remain protected within the petals. By avoiding exposure to weather and insects, the purity of the product is preserved. After the harvest, the stigmas are manually separated from the flowers and then dried with great care.
