Italian Organic Pure Extra Virgin Olive Oil Olio di Oliva di Montemaggio for Wholesale Buyers at Reasonable Price

Fattoria di Montemaggio is known for harvesting the finest wines, but also for its organic extra virgin olive oil. Olive trees have been cultivated in Tuscany since the times of Etruscans. The Extra Virgin Olive Oil of Montemaggio is obtained from typical varieties of this zone: Frantoio, Moraiolo, Leccino and Pendolino.

The harvest takes place by hand from beginning until the mid of November so as to preserve the integrity, freshness and organoleptic properties of the fruit. To prevent oxidation and obtain oil of the highest quality, newly picked olives are transferred to the mill (olive press) in the next 24 hours after being harvested. At the mill, the olives are first cold pressed and then stored at low temperatures.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil of Montemaggio has a vivid green colour. The taste is full and persistent. It has notes of almonds, artichokes and fresh grass, and at the same time has a particular note of spice and sweet bitterness.

Montemaggio also is featured on a map, dating back to 1560, of the “Captains of the Guelph Party” that is housed in the Podesteria di Radda (City Hall). The name Montemaggio derives from “Monte Maggiore” (Big Mountain), which indicates its elevated position.

The estate, which is a member of the Consortium of Chianti Classico, extends over an area of 70 hectares (about 190 acres) of vineyards, olive groves and woods; it is situated at a high altitude of 450 to 600 meters above the sea level.

The vineyards, which is comprised of 8 hectares (20 acres) have a central position in the estate with an exposure to the southwest of remarkable importance. The soil is rich in galestro, sandstone, and alberese. The main grape varieties in our vineyards are Sangiovese, with small additions of Merlot, Pugnitello, Chardonnay, Malvasia Nera, and Ciliegiolo.

The particular position of the estate combined with the micro-climate, makes it possible for Montemaggio to offer a wide variety of products. These products are the following: Chianti Classico, Chianti Classico Riserva, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, Torre di Montemaggio IGT, Quinta Essentia di Montemaggio IGT, Ilaia di Montemaggio IGT, Rosé di Montemaggio IGT, Chardonnay di Montemaggio IGT, la Grappa e l’ Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Montemaggio follows the concept of a very high quality “Terroir” wine. We have a chance to look at the quality of wine in every bottle and make sure that customer gets a very special product. The wines have been planted with a very high density per hectare (6250 plants/hectare in some vineyards). We then produce a lower quantity of grapes per hectare (35-60 Ql/hectare, depending on the vintage), by regulating it through pruning and selection techniques.

These characteristics, in addition to the exposure (south – south west), the slopes, the micro-climate, the soil and the hard and accurate work done, guarantee the production of excellent and authentic Tuscan wines. During the harvest, every bunch undergoes considerable selection in the vineyard and later again in the vinery. Harvest is carried out manually, and only when the grapes are perfectly ripe. Therefore, it could be said that Fattoria di Montemaggio’s wines are 100% hand-made, and they preserve all the quality of the elements that are a part of the land where they have been cultivated.

Furthermore, Montemaggio is a certified organic estate since 2009, which means we produce pure organic wine. We practice organic agriculture and thus cultivation is carried out with the maximum respect for nature, without introducing any foreign or chemical element that can damage the environment.
