FROM OUR TUSCAN ESTATE
Artisinal Organic Olive Oil,
Crafted with Passion
Third-Generation, hand-harvested, cold-pressed, and bottled at origin for unmatched freshness.
OUR HERITAGE
Nestled in the rolling hills of Montepulciano, Poggio Oliveto has been producing exceptional olive oil for three generations. Our estate, blessed with the perfect Mediterranean climate and ancient olive groves, yields oils of extraordinary quality.
Every bottle tells the story of our land — the warm Tuscan sun, the cool autumn harvests, and the meticulous care we pour into every step of production. We believe that great olive oil is not made, but nurtured.
Today, we continue the traditions passed down through our family while embracing sustainable practices that protect our land for future generations.

MORE THAN OLIVE OIL
Poggio Oliveto is a working farm in the truest sense. Beyond our olive groves, we cultivate 1,600 sqm of certified organic vegetables under glass, alongside 1,800 sqm of seasonal produce grown in open fields. Every crop follows the rhythm of the land — planted, nurtured, and harvested in its own time.
We supply local restaurants with vegetables grown just steps from where they’ll be served. It’s a quiet partnership built on trust, freshness, and a shared respect for honest food. No middlemen, no cold storage — just soil to table.

A JOURNEY THAT COMES FULL CIRCLE
Our Family Story
Our olive oil story didn't start with us — it started over 100 years ago in Genoa, when Nick's great-grandfather got sent to Cape Town to build vegetable gardens for ships passing by. There were zero olive trees in South Africa back then, so he started asking sailors to bring him saplings from the Mediterranean.
One tree turned into a few.
A few turned into a grove.
And the grove turned into a family legacy.
Nick's grandfather took things further. After working in the wine industry, he bought a farm and mastered the art of making table olives — designing his own tanks and processes. Nick grew up on that farm, surrounded by vineyards, olives, and a family who knew how to work with the land, not against it.
Fast forward to now, Nick is bringing the family tradition back to Italy, where it all started.
Same roots. New chapter. Full circle.
Poggio Oliveto is the next generation of a story that's crossed continents — and finally came back home.
In the summer of 2024, just one year after taking over the Poggio Oliveto farm from another Italian family and settling into a newly refined olive oil process, our land was struck by fire.
At first, it went unnoticed. Then it spread, dangerously fast. Within hours, hundreds of firefighters were called to contain it. The flames came dangerously close to the main house before they were finally brought under control.
It was an experience that shook us to our core. A stark reminder of how quickly everything you build can disappear. In a single day, we lost at least 1,000 olive trees.
But here’s the part that matters - it fueled us to come back even stronger.
In the past two years, we’ve planted 2,300 new olive trees. They’re still young, but resilient, and specially chosen for sustainable, mechanical harvesting. They’re the future of this land. Stronger, smarter, and ready to produce for decades.
LOOKING AHEAD
The main farmhouse and several smaller apartments scattered across the property are slowly being restored. Stone by stone, room by room — with care and without hurry. One day, these spaces will welcome small cooking classes and intimate gatherings, perhaps even a seasonal table where the farm feeds its own.
We imagine workshops, quiet retreats, celebrations held under the olive trees. But these are seeds, not promises. Poggio Oliveto has always grown at the pace of the land, and we see no reason to change that now.
The future will come when it's ready.
“The quality of Poggio Oliveto oil is unmatched. It elevates every dish we create. Our guests always ask about the secret ingredient.”
