EVOO 2018 Frantoio Franci Olivastra Seggianese

Giorgio Franci is among the most talented and passionate olive oil producers we’ve ever met. His understanding of olive oil, from the farming of trees to the milling of olives, is incredible. The first time tasting his olive oil was at the end of a four day tour, tasting hundreds of oils. The moment we tasted them it was clear that they were something special, something inspiring! The combination of balance, freshness and intensity of flavor was incredible to experience. His mill is located on the slopes of Mt. Amiata, just a few kilometers south of Brunello di Montalcino, Giorgio’s mill is in a loca­tion so beautiful it seems its sole purpose is to create incredible olive oil.

These are the most highly awarded olive oils in our collection and are famous not just in Italy, but France, Germany, Switzerland, North America and Asia. Founded in 1958, Franci has become a cult producer of olive oil, with a following around the world.  From high altitude trees ranging 80 to 130 years at the base of Mt. Amiata.
