Cru #212 Peranzana

Peranzana is known for its elegant, lightly fruity profile, offering aromas reminiscent of green almond, tomato leaf, freshly cut grass, and occasionally apple. It is naturally low in aggressive bitterness and spice, making it ideal for consumers who prefer harmony and finesse. Chemically, it is appreciated for balanced polyphenol levels, good oxidative stability, and a sensory profile that adapts well to raw applications.

Cru #212 showcases Tenuta Venterra’s dedication to organic farming, careful grove management, and precise extraction. Peranzana olives are harvested at the optimal moment to preserve their naturally elegant aromatic profile and balanced polyphenolic structure. Through rapid milling in oxygen-free conditions and controlled storage, the estate captures the cultivar’s delicacy and freshness, resulting in an EVOO that reflects Venterra’s philosophy of purity, precision, and varietal expression. olives are harvested at the optimal moment to preserve their naturally elegant aromatic profile and balanced polyphenolic structure.

A gentle oil that opens with a soft yellow glow touched by green reflections, releasing a grassy, medium-intensity fruitiness that feels fresh and finely woven. On the palate, the Peranzana character emerges with light spice and a measured, pleasant bitterness, never intrusive but always supportive of its fresh vegetal tones. The mouthfeel is elegantly soft and smoothly textured, carrying the aromas with ease. The finish lingers with a subtle green note, delicately persistent and beautifully balanced, making this oil a refined companion for dishes that appreciate nuance rather than force.

Tenuta Venterra is a family-run olive estate created with the clear mission of producing extra virgin olive oils of consistently high quality. Located in the heart of the Taranto peninsula, the estate benefits from a privileged geographic position, favorable climate, and exceptional environmental purity — including clean air and high-quality irrigation water.

The property extends across approximately 115–120 hectares, with 87 hectares planted with olive trees and additional land dedicated to future plantings and vineyards. The groves host traditional and native Puglian varieties such as Frantoio, Leccino, Coratina, Pecholine, Peranzana, and majestic century-old Ogliarola trees set across gentle hillsides.

Tenuta Venterra is cultivated according to certified organic agriculture, avoiding synthetic chemicals and respecting natural maturation cycles. The estate is characterized by a rich polyculture system where diverse olive varieties coexist harmoniously, enhancing biodiversity and flavor complexity.

Production follows strict quality standards: olives are carefully selected, processed using modern oxygen-free extraction technologies, and stored in temperature-controlled facilities. This meticulous approach results in extra virgin olive oils with a delicate sensory profile and lower perceptions of bitterness and pungency, while fully preserving freshness and varietal character.
