Working with nature is a humbling experience and an exercise in finding serenity amidst the unpredictable. Our rejuvenated trees remind us of our privilege of sharing their gift each year.

This year’s olive harvest, true to form, stood as another testament to resilience, renewal, and the unending pursuit of quality, marking the 15th anniversary of the Founder’s Reserve.

Exceptional Conditions: Ideal rainfall and temperatures, alongside no olive fly activity, allowed for meticulous harvesting at peak ripeness.

Masterful Extraction: Using a state of the art nitrogen-sealed mill, each small batch was elaborated at temperatures never surpassing 22 degrees Celcius followed by double filtration to ensuring peak freshness and to preserve maximum sensory expression.

Rigorous Selection: Daily sensory evaluations, verified by Fil Bucchino alongside some of the world's most trusted tasters, guided the final selection.
Extractions from October 16, 17, 21, 29, 30, 31, and November 4 and 10 were included in this Reserve.

This Reserve opens with aromas of almond, artichoke, tomato vine, and fresh-cut grass woven with aromatic herbs and a hint of balsamic. It’s fluid and balanced on the palate, with predominant notes of fresh almond and bitter greens like radicchio and arugula, finishing with a pleasing and elongated peppery warmth.

For over a decade, we've honoured each harvest with a distinctive label; this year is no exception. Our 2024 label is a bold evolution of the limited series we initiated in 2021, reflecting our continuous commitment to art, design, innovation, and tradition.
