Pèppoli oil
This oil, coming from Tenuta Pèppoli, is produced with olives of the Frantoio, Moraiolo and Leccino varieties from organic farming, harvested by hand and pressed a few hours after harvesting, with the typical stone mills. It has an extraordinary organoleptic personality, an excellent structure and balance, with a typical and pronounced spicy final note.

Provenance
Tenuta Pèppoli is located in the Chianti Classico area, in the Municipality of San Casciano Val di Pesa, at an altitude of 300 - 350 meters above sea level. The estate has a total area of about 100 hectares, 27 of which are planted with olive groves. The land is composed of marine deposits from the Pliocene era.

Historical data
Pèppoli oil is an organic oil. In 1994 the estate joined the Organic cultivation project, according to which the chemical principles of synthesis are totally excluded both for phytosanitary defense and for fertilization. After the two-year "Conversion" period, foreseen by current legislation and under the control of the Consortium for the Control of Organic Production, an organization authorized by the Ministry of Agr. and For., with the 1996 production it was possible for the first time to obtain the "Organic Certification" of Pèppoli Oil.

Collection and Production Process
The olives, coming from suitably selected olive groves, are harvested exclusively by hand in an early period with respect to full maturity and are sent for pressing strictly within 12 hours of their arrival at the mill. The working cycle, after the elimination of the leaves by means of a defoliating machine, foresees a crushing with hammers; the paste thus obtained passes to the kneading machine, where, at a temperature between 20-22 °C and for a period of time ranging between 10 and 15 minutes, the oil particles aggregate together; thus they begin to separate from the paste and then proceed to the actual phase of extraction through the decanter. The process therefore takes place at a low temperature, without adding water, to enhance the aromatic and organoleptic characteristics. Conservation takes place in small stainless steel tanks, under an inert gas atmosphere and after a careful company selection aimed at enhancing quality. Pèppoli oil is bottled in the company oil mill in 0.500 l and 0.250 l formats.

Organoleptic characteristics of the oil
Olio Pèppoli has a bright green colour. The nose is intense, fragrant and pungent. On the palate it is lively, fruity, harmonious, and shows good structure and balance, with a typical spicy note on the finish.
