Sornanino Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a premium single-estate extra virgin olive oil produced in the heart of the Chianti Classico region in Tuscany, using olives grown exclusively on the producer’s family estate. It is an early-harvest oil made from green olives picked in October, a practice that gives it a more pronounced character, higher natural antioxidant content, and a more intense aromatic profile.
The producer describes it as 100% Italian olive oil, cold-extracted shortly after harvest to preserve freshness and flavor complexity. On the palate, it displays classic notes of freshly cut grass, green herbs, and artichoke, followed by a distinctive peppery finish that reflects its high polyphenol content.
This is not a mild, neutral oil intended for everyday cooking, but rather an expressive finishing olive oil designed to elevate dishes just before serving. It is particularly well suited for bruschetta, fresh salads, grilled vegetables, fish, soups, and rustic Mediterranean recipes.
