We just received a small amount of extra virgin cold pressed olive oil from Italian wine producer Fenocchio Renato. There were only 1000 bottles of this oil produced. This oil is a Farmstead Wines selection.Renato has been cellar master in a major estate in Barbaresco until 1993 when together with his wife Milva, they decided to take care of the family vineyards and start bottling their own wines. The first vintage was 2000. Renato and Milva Fenocchio spend much of their time in the vineyards. The estate has about 11 hectares spread amongst the major crus of Barbaresco, Neive and Treiso, with soils ranging from the argilo-calcaire of Barbaresco to the grey-blue sandstones of Neive.
This single varietal oil has a rich green hue and is a bit less peppery than some of the Italian oils we sell. It get's its sweet fruity aroma from the taggiasche olives, which are considered to be the premium eating olive grown in the Liguria region.
