he Leccino olive, historically cultivated in Tuscany and now rooted across several Mediterranean regions, thrives particularly well in the hills of Valpolicella, where cooler breezes and limestone-rich soils elevate its aromatic nuance.

Renowned for its naturally balanced profile, Leccino yields an olive oil with gentle fruitiness, low bitterness, and subtle pungency — making it an ideal choice for those who prefer a softer, more harmonious expression rather than intense, peppery oils.

Thanks to its smooth structure and clean finish, it enhances food with finesse, adding depth without dominating the dish. This makes it especially appreciated by those seeking an elegant, versatile everyday oil suitable for salads, light vegetables, white meats, and delicate seafood.

Founded in 2012, Luigi Ruffo’s estate is dedicated to preserving and promoting the native olive cultivars of Valpolicella, particularly Favarol and Grignano.

Located in Cellore di Illasi (Verona) on the slopes of Monte Garzòn, the farm benefits from a unique microclimate and highly calcareous soils — conditions that allow the Grignano variety to reach its finest expression.

Over time, the estate has carefully expanded its groves, selecting parcels with exceptional attention to soil type and varietal adaptability:

  • In Colognola ai Colli, volcanic soils nurture Leccino, known for aromas of wild herbs, flint, and smoky undertones.
  • From Montorio, one of the region’s oldest olive-growing zones, comes the Valpolicella DOP, an exceptionally balanced oil sourced from trees more than 500 years old.

Since its debut in 2023, Grignano was awarded the Three Leaves (Tre Foglie) by Gambero Rosso, while Valpolicella DOP earned the same top recognition in 2024 — a testament to Luigi Ruffo’s excellence and his deep respect for heritage and terroir.
