Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Our extra virgin olive oil (EVO) is the result of the tireless daily commitment to take care of every plant in the olive grove of Tenuta Decimo.
Native plants (Moraiolo, Leccino, Frantoio and Corregiolo), cultivation using strictly organic and certified procedures, fertilization with natural products, skilful pruning, hand harvesting and immediate cold pressing.
We carefully work with environmental protection and with a lot of passion for this land that my grandfather Leonardo Di Maria handed down to me. This is how our Extra Virgin Olive Oil was born, with very low acidity that embodies the essence of the Tuscan tradition.
The cold pressing takes place at a local oil mill that uses the latest generation machinery that guarantees a very high quality, waiting for the oil mill in our Estate to be ready.
All the olive trees are located in Tenuta Decimo - San Gimignano, an area classified as the most suitable for the production of oil in the province of Siena.
It is preferably combined with raw dishes prepared with vegetable appetizers, soups, bruschetta, shellfish, grilled fish and meat, cheeses, pasta and in general with all Tuscan dishes, without changing the taste and enhancing their qualities to the maximum.
Production is limited to ensure the high quality and authenticity of the product.
We have also started the monocultivar production, to enhance the purity of Leccino, Frantoio and Moraiolo olives, with specific combinations and sold with a beautiful case that contains three bottles of our most exclusive production.

From lemon trees to olive groves
From Sicily to Tuscany...
Tenuta Decimo was bought in the 70s by my grandfather, Cavaliere del Lavoro Leonardo Di Maria, who fell in love with Tuscany during his commercial travels.
He bought the estate which was in a state of neglect, the villas were some-like ruins, but with patience and determination Tenuta Decimo was restored to its former glory.
From the lemon plantations of Sicily we passed to the olive groves of Tuscany; today, with the passion transmitted by my grandfather, I carry on the family tradition, taking care of the olive groves of my Tenuta Decimo with love and commitment.
