Barbieri Sergio di Barbieri Piero

In Chiavari, where the steep slopes of the Ligurian Riviera descend towards the Mediterranean, Barbieri Sergio di Barbieri Piero cultivates olives within the Riviera Ligure DOP denomination. The area is extensive—186 olive-growing municipalities—yet the work remains meticulous: harvesting on narrow, sea-facing terraces, where the incline dictates the pace and methods of labor. The extra virgin olive oil draws from the profile of the Taggiasca and its local derivatives, with the sweet and fruity notes that have always characterized these varieties. Altitude and maritime influence are present in every harvest: the salty air, the exposure, the warmth retained by dry stone walls shape the olive even before it reaches the mill. A single denomination, yet inscribed within a landscape that conditions its every nuance. The oil produced is the liquid translation of these coastal slopes, where cultivation survives clinging to the hillside and thrives on the close relationship between olive tree and sea.
