Rolando raves: "Pour over salads of all sorts and colors, from shaved carrots to celery root to delicate greens. Pair with briny IASA Anchovies in Caesar dressing or drizzle over puntarelle with a splash of IASA Colatura and Volpaia White Wine Vinegar. This oil is beyond delicious swirled over rustic soups like minestrone, ribollita and zuppa di lenticchie e farro."
2024 Harvest Notes
Made by the Bertarelli family in Maremma on Tuscany’s southern coast, Castello ColleMassari I.G.P. is one of the finest expressions of extra virgin olive oil, and in particular, Tuscan olive oil. Each year our founder Rolando is lucky to collaborate with ColleMassari to create a blend specially for Manicaretti. The 2024 Harvest is an excellent blend of organic Frantoio and Leccino olives. This exceptional oil opens with the intense, defined aroma of green almond. In the mouth, it is round, complex, and very clean. Flavors of grass, artichoke, and herbs such as rosemary and thyme delight the palate, expertly balanced by just enough bitterness. Castello ColleMassari I.G.P. is Tuscan’s history and future in a bottle.
