Producer
Trappéto di Caprafico is a family estate nestled in the foothills of the Majella National Park in Abruzzo, where the Masciantonio family has been cultivating olives for generations. Surrounded by rocky slopes and a unique microclimate, more than 5,000 trees – many over a century old – thrive in this mineral-rich soil, giving life to oils of remarkable character and vitality. At the heart of their philosophy lies complete dedication to quality: olives are harvested by hand at the perfect moment, cold-pressed in their own mill within hours, and stored under nitrogen to preserve freshness and aromatic intensity.
Among their treasures is the native Intosso variety, a true jewel of the region and a Slow Food Presidio, celebrated for its vibrant green aromas and distinctive balance of fruitiness, bitterness, and spice. Through passion, respect for tradition, and innovation, Trappéto di Caprafico has become a symbol of authenticity and excellence, turning every bottle into a faithful expression of the Abruzzo terroir.
