Description
Poggiolo in italian is roughly translated as a balcony or outcropping, a lookout point. The organic olives that go into this oil come from the trees that are on a promontory - the western slopes of the mayacama's mountains - the 2,200 ft. Ridge that separates sonoma and napa valleys. The olive trees are planted in very rocky soil at an elevation of 1,000 feet. Phil and arden coturri own and run enterprise vineyards and have been making poggiolo organic olive oil since 1997 - when phil imported and propagated cuttings from tuscany in a venture with bob cannard and lorenzo petroni. Phil and arden are local fixtures at the tuesday evening farmer's market on the sonoma plaza square - selling poggiolo olive oil with their sons sam and max. You can also buy poggiolo olive oil direct by email.
