Luigi, small producer of quality EVO oil
Luigi and his wife Hilde are architects. A few years ago, they moved to the countryside, where Luigi got into olive oil to the point of enrolling in the National Register of Olive Oil Technicians and Experts. Luigi personally takes care of his 520 olive trees, producing monovarietal oils that enhance ancient and native qualities of olives, for which he has received national and international prizes and awards. He likes to call himself "agritetto".

The tasting of the quality monovarietal olive oils produced by Luigi
A small aperitif with homemade bread and tomatoes from the garden to better savour the oils
Wear comfortable shoes to better enjoy the olive grove tour
Luigi will welcome you to the place that made him fall in love with countryside life, surrounded by nature. The century-old olive grove that you will visit surrounds the ancient watchtower and the trulli where he now lives with his family. Luigi moved there a few years ago after restoring the ancient buildings together with his wife Hilde, valorising traditional materials and shapes with an approach aimed at environmental sustainability.
Initially, during the olive grove tour, Luigi will introduce you to the wonderful plant that is the olive tree (whose DNA has the same number of chromosomes as the human body and with a great capacity to adapt, which makes it an extremely long-lived plant). He will explain you the principles of sustainable and synergic soil management and of polyconic vase pruning that respect the plant’s needs and make the olive grove more productive.
Next, getting to the heart of the olive oil tasting experience, Luigi will teach you how to appreciate the organoleptic and health characteristics that differentiate a quality EVO oil from an ordinary olive oil. He will help you distinguish its scents and explain how to pair it with different types of food.
At the end of the olive oil tasting, you will be able to enjoy the quality monovarietal oils produced by Luigi, accompanied by local bread and tomatoes from the garden. During this convivial moment, you will have time to chat with Luigi to ask him all the questions you want and find out more details about his very special journey.

L’esperienza di degustazione dell’olio EVO con Luigi è stata fantastica! La sua ricchezza di conoscenze e la passione per il suo settore sono emerse in modo evidente e la location era bellissima. La raccomanderei a chiunque sia interessato al cibo, all’agricoltura e a fare qualcosa di diverso dal solito. E naturalmente la degustazione è stata deliziosa – non vedo l’ora di mostrare la mia conoscenza sull’olio d’oliva di qualità in futuro!
Mi sono divertita molto durante la nostra degustazione di olio d’oliva. Bellissimo ambiente, organizzatore e accompagnatore super informativi, ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Lo consiglio a gruppi e coppie!
Una bellissima serata per conoscere la storia degli ulivi e dell’olio d’oliva. Luigi e Hilde sono proprietari appassionati e competenti. Deliziosi gli spuntini durante la degustazione dell’olio d’oliva. Ben organizzato da Claudio. Per noi è stata una serata speciale in un ambiente bellissimo, tra gli ulivi secolariHighly recommended!
