CASAGNI GIONNI

In Sarteano, on the Sienese slope descending towards the Val d'Orcia, Casagni Gionni produces extra virgin olive oil within the strict confines of Tuscan olive growing. The DOP Terre di Siena covers thirty-two municipalities, but its parameters leave no room for approximation: acidity below 0.5%, oleic acid over 72%, total polyphenols around 100 ppm. These figures speak of stability and resistance to oxidation even before taste. Behind the numbers lies a precise understanding of the hilly terroir. The producer translates the light and soils of this area into oils that combine chemical precision and temperament, without seeking a dramatic effect. The denomination, among the most demanding in the region, functions here more as a control grid than as a mere label: each extraction must fall within thresholds that few territories impose with such rigor. The result is an oil that clearly belongs to the Sienese hills, recognizable for its balance and longevity rather than for aromatic showmanship.
