BRIGNOLI GOFFREDO

Around Chiusi, on the Sienese hills that mark Tuscany's border with Umbria, Goffredo Brignoli cultivates olive groves that yield an extra virgin olive oil with the Terre di Siena DOP designation. The soil and climate contribute to a purity that analysis confirms even before the palate: a maximum acidity of 0.5 percent and an oleic acid content exceeding 72 percent—figures achieved only through timely harvesting and meticulous pressing. The denomination encompasses thirty-two municipalities, a broad perimeter within which each producer must find their own measure of rigor. Brignoli chooses to rely on chemical data as his signature: such strict parameters allow no negligence in the field or the mill, becoming documented proof of a work that refuses compromise. The result is an oil that needs no embellishment to tell its story, as the numbers of its composition speak for themselves. In a Sienese area crowded with labels, this analytical precision is the true distinguishing feature of these bottled olives.
