Ascolano Monovarietal

Harvested in autumn 2024 from estate-grown Ascolano trees in the US (sourcing olives from other groves while the estate trees recover from the extreme frost event), this limited release is cold-pressed within hours of picking. Unfiltered, then stored under nitrogen until bottling to protect polyphenols.
