Az. Agr. PONZIANO MICHELE

In Rignano Garganico, on the olive-growing side of the Foggia area, Michele Ponziano produces extra virgin olive oil with the Denominazione di Origine Protetta Dauno, a label that covers sixty-one municipalities in the province. It is the company's sole denomination, and all its work is focused on the yield of the Tavoliere territory, that vast plain where the Foggia olive finds its distinctive characteristics. In the tasting glass, the oil flows in a chromatic range from green to yellow, with a fruity body marked by delicate hints of spiciness and bitterness, the very traits that the production specifications require and protect. Working within one of Italy's most stringent regulations demands precise discipline in the field and in the mill; Ponziano makes this the starting point for enhancing the specificity of the local cultivar, rather than bending it to a uniform taste. The result is an extra virgin olive oil that speaks clearly of the Tavoliere, measuring its identity by the strict parameters of the denomination rather than market trends.
