Our first vineyards date back to the early 70s and are located in the municipality of San Paolo di Jesi, a classic area of production of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi. In the early 90s we have also begun to grow young olive trees in the municipality of Cupramontana. With the growth of the olive grove, the quality and quantity of its fruits have confirmed their intention to bottle the extra virgin olive oil that it yields.
Our two realities: wine and oil
Verdiccio is alongside extra virgin olive oil, produced from an olive grove planted in the 90s in the area of Cupramontana, where the olive tradition has been rooted for centuries, we find references to olive oil and its properties already in Medieval period. Variety, climate and soil are the elements that determine the specific sensory features of Benforte extra virgin olive oil.
