Sornanino is a boutique producer of extra virgin olive oil rooted in Castellina in Chianti, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy. The brand is centered around a single-estate olive grove, producing oil exclusively from olives grown on its own property, which gives the product a strong sense of place and traceability.

Production is intentionally small-scale, with approximately 430 olive trees and one harvest per year, emphasizing quality over volume. The olives are harvested early, typically in October while still green, a practice chosen to maximize aromatic intensity and polyphenol content rather than yield.

This results in an oil with a bold sensory profile rather than a mild everyday style, characterized by grassy, herbaceous and artichoke-like notes with a pronounced peppery finish. The oil is cold-extracted shortly after harvest in a local Chianti mill to preserve freshness and varietal character.

Sornanino positions its oil as a finishing extra virgin olive oil, intended for drizzling over bruschetta, salads, vegetables, soups, fish and rustic Italian dishes rather than neutral cooking use.
