The estate of the Castello di Oliveto covers 1200 hectares of natural landscape. Only the most sun–exposed areas are used for vineyards, letting the sun of the Florentine hills age the grapes of traditional tuscan varieties, including: Sangiovese, Colorino, Canaiolo, Trebbiano and Malvasia.
Much of the estate’s land is left wooded to keep the original natural envioronment intact, just as it was admired and painted by Renaissance artists. The name Oliveto, meaning olive grove in Italian, is for the historic olive tree orchards that are still on the estate. Honoring tradition, the olives are harvested by hand and brought whole to the olive press, where they become a wonderfully fragant extra virgin olive oil.
The entire production process takes place within the winery , from fermentation to bottling.
