Olio Nuevo means “new oil” in Italian and this bottling represents our Estate Olive oil in its adolescence. It is available from about February through April in exceptional years. The bright flavor succinctly recalls the trees that produced the fruit and the oil has a lovely green-gold hue just like the spring pastures of Carneros. The flavor changes daily as it ages from milling to bottling and beyond.
Bright overtones followed by a flush of phenols make this a lively oil. The finish lingers on the pallet giving a glimpse of the mellow(er) oil that it will soon become.
