South Italy Set
South Italy Set
As far as wine and olive oil are concerned, the southern regions of Italy have for centuries focused on quantity rather than quality. However, these territories have all raised their game in the past decade to offer products of the highest quality that compare favorably with their northern counterparts.
Our south Italian set includes (see details below):
Talismano by Marco Rizzo (Campania)
Cherubino by Terraliva (Sicily)
Monocultivar Coratina by Le 4 Contrade (Apuglia)
Olive oils from the hot South are packed with aromas, taste and antioxydants, and each “cru” in this set has a distinct and unique profile.
