Villa Magra Grand Cru, «Franci’s masterpiece», is a monocultivar Frantoio with sinuous elegance, starting subtly and rising majestically, like an orchestra building to a crescendo.
A journey, an evolution of sensations: it begins with delicate, soft, sweet notes of red fruit, then unfolds into a harmonious, complex green profile, reminiscent of kiwi, green almond, and artichoke. Finally, it surprises with a warm, persistent spiciness, in the bright tones of black pepper.
Tasting: This oil is deep green in color with a fresh, intensely grassy aroma, predominant of artichoke, cardoon and green almond, enhanced by floral and cherry hints which create an extremely complex bouquet. Its flavor is round and strong with decisive spicy and bitter undertones.
Serving Suggestions: Perfect on gourmet bruschettas, beef tartare and carpaccio, smoked salmon, tuna and amberjack, grilled octopus with chickpea cream, on plain pasta or rice creamed with aged cheese and on pistachio ice cream. Great to accompany sushi, with or without wasabi.
