As autumn arrives, Villa Dianella celebrates one of the most eagerly awaited moments of the year: the arrival of the new oil. This “green gold”, the result of careful harvesting and meticulous processing, holds the authentic scents and flavours of the Tuscan countryside, bringing to our tables a fresh, genuine product that expresses the area’s finest olive-growing tradition.
Work Born of Passion
The new oil is much more than a simple condiment: it’s the result of a process that begins in our olive groves, where the olives are grown with passion and organic methods. Harvesting is done strictly by hand, selecting only the best fruit to guarantee a top-quality product. The olives are cold-pressed within a few hours of harvesting, preserving all the nutrients and natural aromas that characterise this precious oil.
Aroma and Taste: The New Oil’s Distinctive Mark
The new oil has an unmistakable character. At first taste, it strikes with its intensity and fresh, pungent aromatic notes. Hints of freshly cut grass, artichoke and green tomato, combined with a light bitterness and pepperiness, give the oil a balanced, harmonious flavour. Perfect enjoyed raw, on a slice of Tuscan bread or with simple dishes like legume soups and grilled vegetables, the new oil can elevate any dish, turning it into a genuinely flavourful experience.
A Tradition Renewed Every Year
Producing the new oil is a genuine celebration at Villa Dianella. After months of work and waiting, the arrival of the first oil marks the start of a new season and represents a moment of togetherness and celebration. It’s a special occasion involving not only the estate’s producers and workers, but also guests, who can take part in the dedicated brunch on Sunday 4 November.
Why Is the New Oil So Special?
What makes the new oil special is its freshness and vitality. Since it hasn’t yet fully settled, the oil has a bouquet of flavours and aromas that tend to mellow over time. It’s precisely this exuberant flavour that makes it so sought-after and appreciated by anyone wanting to try a genuine product, one that captures all the energy and purity of the new vintage.
How to Taste and Buy Villa Dianella’s New Oil
For those who want to try the new oil at its freshest, beyond the dedicated brunch and the brunches where the new oil is generally used to bring out the flavours of the soups and vegetables served. Villa Dianella organises dedicated tastings in the cellar and at the Magazzino Dianella, where guests can enjoy it accompanied by warm bruschetta and classic Tuscan dishes, discovering the nuances and features that make every vintage unique.
The new oil is also available to buy directly at the villa or through our online shop. We offer various packaging options, from elegant 500ml bottles to larger formats, perfect as gifts or for anyone wanting to stock up on this delicacy to use throughout the winter.
An Invitation to Discover Authentic Tuscany
We invite you to visit Villa Dianella for the brunch or at the Magazzino Dianella to discover the new oil and take part in this age-old tradition that combines flavour, territory and passion. Treat yourself to a moment of genuine pleasure and take a little piece of Tuscany home with you, through an oil that tells the story and essence of our land.
