Our production years

2017

It’s been a really dry year. The poor rainfalls compromised the harvest, but thanks to the mature drupes, this particular condition enhanced the herbal aroma of our oil. The average production was 12,59% and the acidity confirmed its 0,16. The harvest started from the first days of October, a decision made by following our need to pick up the olives early in time to guarantee a high quality extra virgin olive oil, like ours. We received the highest mark in the DOP Terre di Siena.

2016

2016 has been a pretty unlucky year because of the olive fly. As a countermeasure, we decided to pick the olives earlier in time and we gave up the affected fruits that were attacked by the parassites. However, even if the harvest was poor, we maintained the integrity and the quality of the fews: the result was a significantly lower level of acidity, which placed Nebbio in a very good position in the EVO classification, a satisfying quantity of polyphenols and the minimum amount of peroxides. And our trees didn’t get any chemical treatments at all.
