BARLETTI MICHELA

Michela Barletti operates in the Sienese olive-growing area, where the Terre di Siena DOP denomination regulates production across 32 municipalities. Her extra virgin olive oil adheres to strict, almost laboratory-like parameters: acidity below 0.5%, oleic acid over 72%, polyphenols around 100 ppm. These are not abstract figures, but concrete indicators of two intertwined qualities—the chemical stability of the oil and its antioxidant content—perceptible on the palate as persistence and vigor. Within such a defined territory, the oil becomes a mirror of its soil. The calcareous marls and Mediterranean climate of the Sienese lands contribute to a recognizable profile, the result of an olive-growing vocation measured here in millennia. Barletti neither forces this heritage nor transforms it into a narrative: she lets it speak through the numbers and in the glass, where analytical rigor guarantees authenticity even before taste, and every respected parameter becomes a form of respect for the land.
