MUNI × Fonte di Foiano
Italian early-harvest extra virgin olive oil
From a century-old estate in Bolgheri, Tuscany, early harvesting and cold pressing hold the earth's liveliest energy. Every drop is sunlight, sea wind and soil in resonance.
The Estate
Fonte di Foiano
Tending every olive tree since 1979
Fonte di Foiano sits in Bolgheri, Tuscany's most celebrated olive oil region, ten minutes from the Tyrrhenian Sea. Warm Mediterranean wind and the mineral soil of the Tuscan hills produce some of the finest olives in the world.
The estate covers 30 hectares with more than ten thousand olive trees, including the classic Leccino, Frantoio, Moraiolo, Maurino and Leccio del Corno. Three generations of one family, out of deep feeling for the land, insist that everything from harvest to bottling happens on the estate, so that every drop keeps the fullest expression of its terroir.
Fonte di Foiano's oils now reach more than 30 countries and have received Flos Olei 99/100 for several years running — among the highest honours in olive oil assessment anywhere.
Early Harvest
Why harvest early?
Early harvest means picking while the fruit is turning from green to purple, before it is fully ripe. In that brief golden window, polyphenols, squalene and vitamin E peak — and the yield of oil is at its lowest. Fonte di Foiano accepts the smaller yield in order to extract the most concentrated vitality and the clearest layers of flavour.
Up to ten times the polyphenols
Early-harvest oil carries five to ten times the polyphenols of a late harvest, with stronger antioxidant capacity and a more distinct peppery bite.
Very low acidity (0.1–0.2%)
Far below the EU extra virgin standard of 0.8%. Such low acidity reflects perfect condition from picking through to pressing.
Unmatched layers of flavour
Artichoke, green tomato, almond, aromatic herbs — the grassy character and complexity particular to early-harvest oil, terroir at its most honest.
The Collection
The full Fonte di Foiano range
From single varieties to classic blends, every oil is a distinct reading of Bolgheri terroir, bringing a different frequency to your ritual.
Grand Cru
The estate's flagship
Grand Cru is Fonte di Foiano's flagship, made from the fruit of the estate's oldest trees. A blend of Leccino, Frantoio, Moraiolo and Maurino, hand-picked in the early mornings of October and cold-extracted within four hours. A deep emerald colour carries layered aromas of artichoke, tomato and fresh almond, with a bitterness and pungency both distinct and elegant.
Aroma: Artichoke, fresh tomato, almond, aromatic herbs
Palate: Full-structured, with a distinct and elegant bitterness and pungency, finishing on black pepper and green almond
Pairing: Steak tartare, truffle risotto, aged hard cheeses, roast vegetables
1979
The founding year
A single-variety oil named for the estate's founding year, 100% Leccio del Corno. It carries three generations of feeling for this land — a rich, round mouthfeel with vegetal hints of artichoke, chicory and lettuce, and the balsamic notes of mint and rosemary unfolding slowly.
Aroma: Artichoke, chicory, lettuce, with balsamic mint and rosemary
Palate: Elegant and complex, with green tones of artichoke, grass and tomato leaf; bitterness and pungency distinct and lasting
Pairing: Octopus antipasti, carpaccio with porcini, baked tomatoes, roast red meat
Riflessi
Reflections
Riflessi is a lightly fruity extra virgin oil, 100% Maurino, harvested in October. Filtered, it shows an attractive gold with green tints. An elegant, rounded opening with tomato and aromatic herbs, and balsamic notes of mint, basil and rosemary opening gently in the mouth. Bitterness and pungency are clear and balanced, with a sweet finish.
Aroma: Tomato, aromatic herbs, mint, basil, rosemary
Palate: Round and full, with hints of lettuce, black pepper and almond, finishing sweet
Pairing: Bean antipasti, artichoke risotto, roast rabbit, goat's cheese
Toscano PGI Bolgheri
Tuscan PGI Bolgheri
A Tuscan oil with PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) certification, expressing Bolgheri terroir at its most authentic. It blends the essence of several estate varieties under strict regional rules, and every drop is the sum of Bolgheri's hills, sea wind and sun.

Early harvest, first pressing
Olives are picked early, at their peak of polyphenol content and nourishment. No more than four hours pass between picking and pressing, holding every drop of vitality.
Cold extraction × inert gas
Low-temperature cold extraction throughout, with inert gas protection at bottling, to preserve active polyphenols, vitamin E and antioxidants.
Century-old trees
The estate's trees have grown for decades and in places a century. Deep roots connect them to the earth's energy, and the fruit carries richer minerals and terroir.
The finest Bolgheri terroir
In the hills of Bolgheri in Tuscany, Mediterranean sea wind and Tuscan sun together give these olives their distinct layers of flavour.
Three generations
Since 1979, three generations of the Fonte di Foiano family have tended 10,000 trees across 30 hectares, with love and gratitude for the land.
