Azienda Agricola I Roncati

On the shores of the Lombard lakes, in the Lecco territory, Azienda Agricola I Roncati cultivates olive trees where steep slopes meet temperate waters. This geography generates distinctive microclimates: lake breezes moderate seasonal extremes and create conditions more akin to the Mediterranean than to the Alps that loom in the background. From this balance comes the extra virgin olive oil with the Laghi Lombardi DOP denomination, the company's sole focus. The oil is proof of how precise the lake terroir can be: low acidity and a high content of phenolic substances give it both delicacy and antioxidant power, two qualities that rarely coexist with such clarity. Operating in the designated area around Lecco, the producer leverages local knowledge to extract oils that reflect an alpine-influenced landscape softened by water. The essence of their work lies entirely here: to interpret a border environment — mountain and lake, cold and shelter — and translate its tensions into an extra virgin olive oil that bears the character of its origin, without forcing its hand.
