Pantarei Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva L2024/25 1500ml

Wine Description for Pantarei Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva L2024/25 1500ml Magnum by Occhipinti

Colour & Appearance

Luminous, rich golden yellow with brilliant green reflections – an olive oil that reveals its freshness and vitality at first glance. The colour promises intensity whilst maintaining elegance.

Nose

Here the Tonda Iblea shows its most expressive side: green olives dominate powerfully, accompanied by a herbal explosion of wheatgrass, chervil and parsley. Mediterranean herbs such as sage, tarragon and oregano convey the scent of a freshly mown Sicilian herb meadow. Surprisingly: delicate notes of pear and peach temper the herbal intensity. White pepper and juniper berry provide peppery spice, whilst walnut kernels and their shells lend depth and complexity. Subtle floral accents in the background round out the aromatic profile.

Palate

Remarkably even, generous distribution in the mouth. The opening is mild and silky smooth, almost caressing, before the characteristic peppery bite and nutty complexity set in. Pine nuts, hazelnut and walnut come across as freshly chopped and subtle – the nut dominates here over the herbal freshness. The spice holds itself elegantly in the background. Fruitiness acts as a connecting element between the different flavour layers. A distinctive oil that combines power with considerable elegance.

Finish

Lingering with the typical, pleasant peppery bite of the Tonda Iblea. The peppery sensation develops gradually and remains present without becoming intrusive – a sign of quality and freshness.

Terroir & Origin

From the area around Ragusa in Sicily, where the indigenous variety Tonda Iblea is native. Arianna Occhipinti connects childhood memories with these olive trees – she played amongst them on the same terroir where her vines grow today. This emotional connection is reflected in the care taken in production.

Variety & Production

Single varietal olive oil from 100% Tonda Iblea, an olive variety highly prized in the Ragusa region. The 2024/25 harvest is bottled in the impressive 1500ml Magnum bottle.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Perfect with grilled fish, carpaccio, bruschetta or simply with fresh ciabatta. Excellent with white bean soups, pasta with vegetables or as a finishing touch over grilled vegetables. The intensity also works well with heartier dishes such as vitello tonnato or insalata di mare.

Special Features

One of only two olive oils produced at the renowned Occhipinti estate. The Magnum bottle is ideal for olive oil enthusiasts and gastronomic establishments.
