Our farm is located between Siena and Florence on the rolling hills which gently run down from the old Romanic S. Stefano Church to the villages of S. Casciano and Mercatale (300 m sl.).

Our family arrived here in 1934 when the head of the family, Gianni Alfani, together with his young sons, decided to stop being a sharecropper and to buy his own small farm. We've worked this farmland since then, sharing the same devotion to work and respect for nature as our forefathers. Our olive grove is about 3.5 Ha with 1470 trees. Among them are the most important and typical species of the area, such as Frantoio, Correggiolo, Moraiolo, Leccino, Leccio del Corno, Pendolino and Madonna dell'Impruneta.

Elegant paper boxes protect our oil from the natural degradation caused by the sunlight.

Olive Groves: It is necessary to remember that our olive groves are very old. Many trees were already there when our family bought the farm in 1934. The different varieties of the Chianti area have been planted randomly without following any rules, as it was until recently. Here below, you find some general information.

Ripening period: The ripening period depends on the weather during the growing season, specifically on the exposure of the groves to sunlight. For this reason, the harvest date varies yearly.
