Leccio del Corno Chianti Classico DOP High Phenolic 630mg/kg EVOO Giacomo Grassi 500ml

A Tuscan cultivar with a quiet, aristocratic soul. Check the official lab-analysis

Born in the hills of Chianti, Leccio del Corno takes its name from Fattoria del Corno, near San Casciano in Val di Pesa, where it was first identified in 1929. Unlike many varieties selected for sheer productivity, Leccio del Corno earned its place through adaptability and balance—a cultivar shaped by the realities of Tuscan farming rather than industrial ambition.

Leccio del Corno DOP Chianti Classico is a refined and expressive mono-cultivar extra virgin olive oil that captures the essence of the Chianti Classico hills. Produced exclusively from Leccio del Corno olives grown within the DOP area, it reflects both varietal purity and a deep respect for territory.

Harvested early and cold extracted with absolute precision, this high polyphenol extra virgin olive oil with its 620mg/kg of polyphenols reveals a clean, elegant aromatic profile. Notes of fresh almond, wild herbs, and green apple unfold gently on the nose, followed by a balanced palate where bitterness remains measured and the peppery finish is present yet finely integrated.
