New Olive Oil 2025: A Challenging Season, an Authentic Result

This year, speaking of new olive oil in Tuscany means telling a story of challenge.
The weather tested even the strongest olive trees: humidity, irregular heat, and the olive fly made the harvest more difficult than usual. In many areas, the trees produced little or nothing.

At Tenuta La Gigliola, where the olive groves stretch across the hills of Montespertoli, the season showed two sides: the lower fields struggled, but the higher, breezy slopes gifted us healthy, fragrant olives worth pressing.
The first milling has exceeded expectations — and the harvest continues, with the same care as always.

A Fragrance That Speaks of the Mill

The 2025 new oil from La Gigliola is immediately recognizable: green, fresh, alive — that scent of grass and almond that brings you straight to the mill, where oil is born and time slows down.
It’s the mark of a healthy olive and a perfectly timed pressing: a genuine oil that speaks the language of the land.
As we say in Tuscany: “a drop that wakes your soul more than your mouth.”

A Flavor That Calls for the Table

Its color shines bright green; the aroma is clean; the taste balanced.
The spiciness is rounded, the bitterness delicate — everything in harmony.
It’s the kind of oil that invites the simplest, truest act of the Tuscan table: a slice of bread, a drizzle of oil, and nothing more.

A Modest Year, Yet Full of Character

Those who know La Gigliola’s oil know that in some years we reach remarkable peaks.
2025 was not an easy year: production is lower, and the intensity slightly softer. Yet the quality stands firm — honest, authentic, proud.
It’s an oil that doesn’t pretend, but tells the truth of its season.
As an old Chianti farmer would say: “better little, but good.”

Now Available

The 2025 new olive oil from Tenuta La Gigliola is now available.
A sincere, lively oil that carries within it the story of a difficult year — and the satisfaction of those who can still say, with pride:
it was worth it.
