Franci oil mill wins the prize The Magnificent 2023 with the monovarietal “Delicate Maurino”, confirming once again that very high quality can also be made with a super intensive. It is yet another result for the company from Montenero d'Orcia – prize number 663 of its olive palmares – among the most prestigious producers on the national scene who maintain a strong link with their territory and with an eye always projected forward.
“The Maurino – he explains George Franci – traditionally used as a pollinator, over time it has proved to be particularly suitable for intensive and above all super-intensive. We have reserved for this typical Tuscan variety 2,5 of the 10 hectares of very high density, with 1.900 plants per hectare. It is a complicated variety because it has low vigor, has one shortened window of maturation and a minimum yield. But we quickly realized that she has a important aromatic and organoleptic profile, with elegant aromas in a light-medium fruitiness. The 80 quintals of olives per hectare are collected with a advanced mechanization to make the most of the potential of this variety". The rest is done by the technique in the mill - in which one stands out Leopard 6 Pieralisi – where expert hands best manage the flexibility of the system.
Always of the Pieralisi is the plant ofCroatian company Orna that The Magnificent 2023 won the prize “Revelation of the Year” Round Purple Mate, an oil of the native variety buža. The awards ceremony for this award – which aims to enhance the work of European extra quality oil producers and highlight the best oils for chefs, buyers, foodies – was held last Saturday at the famous Antinori Winery in San Casciano in Val di Pesa.
