Az. AGR. La Prece di Mariani Alessia

In Tocco da Casauria, where the Pescara hills rise towards Abruzzo's inland, Alessia Mariani runs the La Prece farm, focusing on a single product: Aprutino Pescarese DOP extra virgin olive oil. The protected area embraces forty-six municipalities in the province of Pescara, and the producer's work is situated within this framework. Her oils display shades ranging from green to yellow and the herbaceous notes typical of the denomination, with a fruitiness kept to measured rather than ostentatious levels. This is a stylistic choice that reflects how the olives are brought to the mill: careful harvesting and pressing using traditional methods, without forcing. The denomination, unique to the farm, functions here as a guarantee of origin and as a sensory reference grid—color, aroma, bitterness, and pungency find their perimeter in the regulations. The value of the oil lies precisely in this adherence: an extra virgin that does not seek effect, but fidelity to a territorial character already enshrined in the rules of the Abruzzo DOP.
