Olive Harvest 2009

sibilla — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 19:34:57 +0000

There are about 2800 olive trees spread over the two hills of the Fattoria Corzano e Paterno. In November the harvest took place, with seven of our workers combing the hills in the unseasonably warm weather, picking 80 to 120 kg per day each. In total about 15 000 kilos of olives where picked, of the Moraiolo, Frantoio, Leccino and Pendolino varieties. The yield was 20 percent less than last year, but of excellent quality. The olives were cold pressed within eight hours of picking to maintain the oil’s characteristics as much as possible. The eagerly awaited result is 2000 kg of an elegant yet spicy oil, sold in half litre bottles.

Wine Harvest 2009

sibilla — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 08:17:10 +0000

The hot summer meant that we started our wine harvest very early, as has been the case for the past four years. We stared picking white grapes at the end of August then moved seamlessly onto the reds on September 10th, finishing on October 8th. The good weather meant that no days were lost because of rain. A high level of selection, once in the vineyard and twice in the cellar, ensured that only the best bunches were used. The total harvested was circa sixty tonnes. The outlook for this vintage is good: at the moment the red wines are going through malolactic fermentation, and Arianna is sulphuring them as they complete this process. In order to preserve their freshness the white wines do not do malolacting fermentation, they are currently sur lie (on the yeasty residue remaining after fermentation) and are stirred once a week to bring fullness to the wines.
