Our Story
The Lombardi’s wanted to develop the 39 hectares of olive trees of Pornanino, and the result of his working retirement has been their premier Pornanino Extra-Virgin Olive Oil which is shipped all over the world.
Sun, stone, dryness, silence and solitude are the five ingredients that, according to Italian folk traditions, create the ideal habitat for the olive tree, and Pornanino had all these vital attributes and more.
The tradition in Chianti has always been to cultivate primarily vineyards. Olive groves and oil were the “little brothers” of the vineyards and wine.
The simple idea was to become the only farmers in the area to produce only olive oil which was a true challenge and the entire Lombardi family embraced the dream and continues to do so.
