Castello ColleMassari

Castello ColleMassari is located at the foot of Monte Amiata, facing the Tyrrhenian Coast, at approx. 320 meters above the sea level. Here, the favourable microclimate has considerable temperature difference and strong ventilation; the company’s land expands over several hectares, divided between forests, arable crops, vineyards and olive groves.

This famous farm is managed by the Bertarelli brothers - Claudio and Maria Iris - who, apart from their wine production, decided to undertake the production of extra virgin olive oil obtained from the local Olivastra Seggianese variety, along with other more widespread varieties, such as Leccino and Frantoio.
For cultivating its olive groves and other crops, Colle Massari has chosen organic farming, to produce a quality extra virgin olive oil, while respecting the territory. These beliefs also inspired the choice of producing and extra virgin olive oil obtained from a local variety - Olivastra Seggianese - typical of Monte Amiata, since it grows in the fresh hilltop climate.

Along with the PGI Biologico extra virgin olive oil - a blend comprising several varieties farmed at the company - the company decided to produce several monocultivars made with Olivastra Seggianese, Leccino and Frantoio olives.
