Whereas the Chianti Colli Senese from Torre alle Tolfe has been high praised in the media (FEINSCHMECKER and VINUM), and as a result of this we were hardly to keep up with packing all the bottles for shipment, the olive harvest this year was barely sufficient for the owner's private consumption.
The olive fruit fly (Dacus oleae) attacked the olive groves during the months of September and October and laid its eggs in the ripening olives, which were then ruined by the maggots.
Unfortunately, these things happen in agriculture, especially ecologically-run operations. The company lost about 40,000 euros, and we have to look around for an alternative.
