Tuscany. This is a very special bottling of oil from a new, young grove at Fonte di Foiano. This single-cultivar selection features the Ravece cultivar, and it first celebrated the 40th anniversary of Fonte di Foiano. Now the bottling is known as Zefiro.
The label is the last painting done by the founder Michele and his sons have dedicated this bottling to him. Michele died in 2017 and his sons Paolo and Simone have carried on the traditions of excellence.
The aroma opens ample and rotund, rich in vegetal hints of green tomato, artichoke, chicory and lettuce, followed by balsamic tones of mint and rosemary. It is very elegant and complex with notes of tomato, grass, and almond, followed by light bitterness and medium intensity pungency.
