Laudemio Frescobaldi 2021 is remarkably elegant and well balanced. First, fresh aromas of green olives mowed grass and artichoke. You may also note arugula! Then, the taste is very harmonic with a round flavor of green almond. It is very clean and has an outstanding herbal bitterness on the palate with a very long-lasting, pleasant spiciness. A robust and complex oil. Packaged in a gift box. Filtered, estate-bottled.

Review: “an excellent example of a very carefully made oil, virtually fault free…without the aggressive character typical of Tuscan oils — one that often puts off U.S. consumers. This harvest has a well-rounded flavor of fresh walnuts and a spicy peppery finish.” -- Nancy Harmon Jenkins, ZesterDaily.com, 2.12.13
This estate is located in the hills of Chianti Rufina. All producers of Laudemios must adhere to strict guidelines established by the Laudemio consortium. The Frescobaldi Laudemio is consistently rated "exceptional."
Pour generously over any winter green such as kale, chard, arugula, and beet
greens. Elegantly swirl over steamed broccoli, creamy
cannellini beans, and chickpeas. Enjoy the explosion of flavors when using as a dip for pinzimonio (raw vegetable crudités).
