Don Gioacchino DOP by Sabino Leone
£37.20
Produced from a centuries-old olive grove that has olive trees of over 220 years of Coratina, Regina della Puglia cultivar, rich in natural antioxidants such as polyphenols. Called Don Gioacchino to pay homage to Gioacchino Leone who, Father of Sabino Leone and founder of the farm, spent all his life caring for this olive grove, pride of the company. The terroir is the master and gives this extra virgin olive oil unique aromatic and taste notes. A very complex and harmonious extra virgin olive oil; the nose is dominated by green almond, accompanied by hints of slight importance such as artichoke stem, tomato leaf and medicinal herbs. The taste is very balanced, with bitter and spicy definitely present and in harmony with each other with hints of wild chicory and bitter almond.

Nick's experience
“Tasting this Coratina extra virgin olive oil is straightforward and clear. You first notice the scent of green almond, with light hints of artichoke stem, tomato leaf, and some herbal notes.
The flavour is balanced, with both bitterness and spice present but working well together. You can pick up touches of wild chicory and bitter almond as you taste it.
Don Gioacchino has a steady, lasting finish. It pairs especially well with baked or grilled red meats, where its structure and intensity complement the dish.”
