DOP “TERRE D’AMARE”

Description

Produced in limited quantities from olives of variety Frantoio and Leccino, grown in the “Tenuta Terre d’Amare”, on the hills of Riomaggiore, in the protected area of ​​the Cinque Terre. The olive grove, characterized by traditional dry stone walls overlooking the sea, is associated with the breeding of bees. The mild temperatures, the constant presence of sea breezes and the south-east exposure of the steep rocky slope create a unique oil, distinctly sweet and enveloping, rich in the aromas of the Mediterranean scrub.

From Bibenda 2023:

“Clear yellow-green with good density. It evokes aromas of bergamot and lemon leaf on the nose, floral and basil breaths supported by hints of pine nuts and subtle balsamic hints. It envelops the palate with slight fatness and a progressive spicy trail. The bitter note is contained and returns in the finish with hints of walnut and artichoke”

Pairings: particularly suitable for Ligurian cuisine of fish and shellfish
