The Grotti Castle is located in Tuscany’s, in the Ville di Corsano’s mystical and quaint surroundings and nestled into Siena’s medieval landscape. This geographical area separates the Arbia Valley from the Merse Valley at an altitude of approximately 400 meters above sea level. The land is magical and holds a particular quiet, Tuscany’s classic warm yellow light, mist-filled morning hills, and a breeze that is scented with lavender, rosemary, olives, and lemon blossom.

In the Grotti Castle olive orchard, you will find 3000 olive trees planted, cultivated, and managed in an environmentally sensitive fashion.

The olive groves are tilled three times a year in an ancient practice which allows for soil enrichment and, in accordance with the Tuscan region’s environmental regulations, does not use any chemical fertilizers. This also means that we hand pick our Frantoiano, Leccino, Moraiolo and Pendolino olives from the trees and not from the ground. Harvest begins in late October and ends mid December.

The geographic and climatic conditions of the Grotti Castle region lend themselves perfectly to the production of excellent extra virgin olive oil.

After the harvest, our olives are taken to an oil-press and cold sqeezed which delivers a beautiful green-coloured oil with a marked fruity flavour and distinct herbaceous nuances.

The well-balanced taste mixes the bitter and the spicy with fresh and intense perfumes.
