The Chianti Region in Italy is a district of 173,000 acres.By a fortunate coincidence of natural elements, such as latitude, climate, soil and altitude, the olive trees that are cultivated in Chianti are perhaps the best in the best in the world for production of oil.
Extra virgin oil is the finest and most natural obtained through the simple pressing of the olives without chemical interventions whether in connection with extraction or correction of acidity. From the Volterrana road is the dark drive lined with cypresses that leads to the Villa I Tattoli, one of the most grandiose and most important among the villas in the surroundings of San Casciano.
I Tattoli still preserves the characteristics of the rich noble homes of the XVth century.Built below-ground level were the cellars, the granary, the store houses and the rooms of the oil jugs, where the olive oil, second to none worlwide, is stored still today; the wine, long present on the table of sovereigns and pontifs, ages in the darkness of the cellars under vaulted ceilings designed by the Renaissance architect Sangallo.Today after six hundred years, the spacious and beautiful Villa I Tattoli has alwasy remained in the Bini family.
