More information...
At the end of the great frost in 1985, only 79 of Volpaia's 2,782 olive trees were still alive. Strangely enough, this natural disaster made them even more determined to relaunch the cultivation of olives in an area where the land is renowned for producing the finest olive oil. Twenty-seven acres were immediately prepared for the intensive cultivation of olives. Great care went into choosing varieties and clones which could be cultivated with up-to-date methods while still respecting tradition. At the same time, plans were made to build a new cold olive-press with traditional millstones and extraction by pressureless dripping. This system is called "Sinolea". Everything that the Eighties had to offer in new technology and hygenic standards was also introduced.
