Agrestis

Agrestis operates on the high slopes of the Monti Iblei, in Buccheri, where centuries-old olive groves and once-abandoned lands have been brought back to production. It's a patient restoration, carried out tree by tree on slopes far from industrialization, giving new meaning to an agricultural landscape that had been left on the margins. The oil holds the Monti Iblei DOP denomination, an area embracing thirty-nine municipalities in southeastern Sicily. Its profile is one of medium-intense fruitiness, with herbaceous notes and hints of green tomato, obtained through organic farming and manual control at every stage, from the soil to the bottle. At an altitude of 820 meters, the indigenous Tonda Iblea variety finds the ideal conditions to express itself with clarity, far from the forced yields of the plains. Those who venture up to Buccheri can witness this restoration work firsthand and taste the oil where it originates: a visit to the olive groves of the upper Iblei reveals just how much taste depends on altitude, cultivar, and the skilled hand that nurtures it.
