The “traditional” weather conditions with a cold and snowy winter, a rainy spring, hot summer and changeable autumn distinguished the oleic countryside of 2010. The perfect climate conditions of the end of October, with low temperatures during the morning and sunny during the day facilitated the harvesting of the Frantoio variety, having reached a perfect level of ripening and aromatic concentration. The cultivation of all the olive groves at Brolio is organic, where the use of phystosanitary products is entirely absent and only organic fertilizers are used on the soil.

Intense green colour; hints of lettuce and freshly cut grass to the nose. It has a strong vegetable flavour of artichokes and unripe olives with a strong spicy aftertaste.

The olives, which are harvested manually, are taken to the press in well-ventilated 20 kg bins and pressed within 24 hours using the continuous method. The olives are washed, then pressed, and the resulting paste is spun at a temperature that never exceeds 27°C. The olive paste never comes in contact with air, because the press works in a controlled nitrogen atmosphere. The oil is extracted by centrifuge, a technique that guarantees the quality of the yield, and very low acidity. When the oil arrives in the storage cellar, it is immediately filtered, and held in 400 litre stainless steel containers until bottling.
