Fattoria dei Barbi in Montalcino has only olive trees of the Frantoio varietal, locally called Coreggiolo, because it is more suited to the climate and soils of the area. We have plants more than a century old with majestic trunks and younger trees that replaced the ones killed by the frost that this bizarre weather has recently given us. The olive oil is rich, aromatic, a joy for the senses.
