THE EXCELLENCE
OF THE
LIGURIAN
PRODUCTION

At Tenuta Saglietto, a certified organic farm, we cultivate the authentic Ligurian tradition with passion. Our excellence is reflected in our Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the “Taggiasca” cultivar, our olives in brine, and the fine Riviera Ligure di Ponente wines, Vermentino and Pigato. Each product is born from heroic and sustainable agriculture, respectful of the environment and deeply connected to the territory.

Muri e terrazze - sulle terrazze gli ulivi contorti a testimonianza che hanno vissuto,
voluto, possenti di forze e di volontà.
E noi fummo tra gli ulivi come un popolo antico nella sua Cattedrale.
Ogni speranza era lì.
Ogni sicurezza era lì... Tra gli Ulivi!!

Saglietto
“Bausi”
Extravergin olive Oil

Fragrant on the nose, with inviting hints of fresh olive, the Bausi Taggiasca variety is enriched with imperceptible floral and white fruit notes.

In the mouth it is fine, elegant, you can feel a caressing and sweet paste supported by a good combination of bitter-piccant and a pleasant aroma of apple and pine nuts.

Saglietto
Taggiasche Olives
in Brine

Our Taggiasche olives in brine, are a careful selection of the fruit during all phases of the harvest.

Considered the most delicate in the world and consequently also the most valuable, they are used in many Ligurian dishes based on both meat and fish, in bread and focaccia doughs, in the preparation of pizzas and in various salads.

They can be enjoyed alone as an aperitif accompanying a glass of Vermentino wine or Pigato Saglietto wine.

Vineyards

Quality starts with a love of the vineyard.

The love for the vineyards, the composition of the soil, the position of the vineyards on steep slopes exposed to the sun, the short pruning, the thinning out of the bunches: all this allows us to obtain grapes of the highest quality. The planting density is rather high (7000 vines per hectare), so the vines have a low yield.
