The Estate's Own Olive Oil

The trees you nap under in August are pressed in November — Poggio 3 Lune produces its own extra-virgin olive oil from the groves around the residences.

The Thesis

The vast olive groves that define the estate's landscape are not decorative: Poggio 3 Lune produces its own olive oil. The Florentine hills are one of the world's most prestigious olive-growing zones — Tuscan extra-virgin oil is prized globally for the peppery, green intensity that comes from early harvesting in exactly this climate — and the estate's groves belong to that tradition.

Why It Matters for Your Stay

Food provenance is the soul of Tuscan travel, and nothing is more direct than oil from the trees outside your window. Guests taste the landscape literally: bread, the estate's oil, a tomato from the market in Rignano — the simplest meal in Italy, at its source. A bottle carried home extends the stay by months; every drizzle is the hillside again. Returning guests know this — the estate has been known to welcome them back with olive-oil-themed offers.
