TENUTA GIANNONE – our Family’s History
“When you walk through the roads immersed in the limestone plateau of the Iblei Mountains, you have the feeling of a journey back in time: the scent of antiquity, the notes of the Mediterranean Sea, the gentle trend of the reliefs engraved by rivers and cave, the precious light of the sun.
In this varied and multifaceted scenario of nature and colors in the heart of South-Eastern Sicily, characterized by high altimetric variability, the cultivation of the olive tree represents the mirror of the history of a sunny and Mediterranean land, which founded on agriculture the basis of its own civilization.”
It is right here, in the heart of the Hyblean Mountains (Monti Iblei), in a small Village close to Modica city, that the Giannone’s family for several generations is dedicated to the cultivation of olive trees and the production of extra virgin olive oil. The passion for the extra virgin olive oil began in the mid-1950s, and was born from the love that binds this family to its land.
The brothers Vincenzo and Santo, together with the precious help of their father Giorgio , take care of their olive groves which extend for about 15 Ha, in a mainly hilly area, at an altitude of about 600 meters above sea level, giving rise to their precious extra virgin olive oil of great character and excellent organoleptic properties.
The olive groves consists of a selection of mainly native cultivars, including the Tonda Iblea, the Verdese, the Nocellara Etnea and the Biancolilla..
Each phase of the production cycle, from the care of the plant to the extraction of the oil, is crucial for the success of a high-quality extra virgin olive oil rich in polyphenols and vitamins.
Pruning operations are carried out in the winter period, while in the summer months particular attention is paid to the correct water supply, especially in the hottest and driest periods.
Anti-parasitic defense is carried out through the use of Integrated Biological Control methods, for more sustainable agriculture and reduced environmental impact.
The olive groves of TENUTA GIANNONE are only treated with organo-mineral products in order to guarantee the vegetative-productive balance.
