THE EXCELLENCE
OF THE
LIGURIAN
PRODUCTION

Our love for the land guides every choice we make. At Tenuta Saglietto, our certified organic farm, we cultivate olive groves and vineyards with passion, practicing heroic and sustainable agriculture and using only organic products to preserve Liguria’s unique nature and landscape.

Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made from the prized Taggiasca cultivar. The olives, pressed within 24 hours of harvest, yield an oil with an authentic and refined taste.

Our vineyards, cultivated on steep, sun-drenched slopes, yield high-quality native grapes. We refine the finest Pigato and Vermentino wines in the heart of western Liguria, among the ancient alleys known as “carruggi.”

Olive groves

Five hectares of olive groves, on average centuries old, spread across the sunny terraces of Poggi, overlooking the sea of Imperia in the Buscarin and Bausi areas. Here, we cultivate only the prized Taggiasca cultivar, a symbol of Ligurian tradition. After careful manual harvesting, the olives are pressed within 24 hours using innovative techniques, preserving their freshness and yielding an authentic and refined Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Muri e terrazze - sulle terrazze gli ulivi contorti a testimonianza che hanno vissuto,
voluto, possenti di forze e di volontà.
E noi fummo tra gli ulivi come un popolo antico nella sua Cattedrale.
Ogni speranza era lì.
Ogni sicurezza era lì... Tra gli Ulivi!!

“Bausi”
Extravergin olive Oil

Fragrant on the nose, with inviting hints of fresh olive, the Bausi Taggiasca variety is enriched with imperceptible floral and white fruit notes.

In the mouth it is fine, elegant, you can feel a caressing and sweet paste supported by a good combination of bitter-piccant and a pleasant aroma of apple and pine nuts.

Saglietto
Taggiasche Olives
in Brine

Our Taggiasche olives in brine, are a careful selection of the fruit during all phases of the harvest.

Considered the most delicate in the world and consequently also the most valuable, they are used in many Ligurian dishes based on both meat and fish, in bread and focaccia doughs, in the preparation of pizzas and in various salads.

They can be enjoyed alone as an aperitif accompanying a glass of Vermentino wine or Pigato Saglietto wine.

Vineyards

Quality is born from love for the vineyard.
On steep, sun-kissed slopes, bordered by dry stone walls overlooking the sea and kissed by salty breezes, our vineyards benefit from balanced soil and an ideal microclimate. Here, the Pigato and Vermentino grape varieties find perfect conditions to express their best characteristics. Short pruning and thinning ensure low but precious yields. From these top-quality grapes, we produce our wines, refined in the heart of western Liguria, among the ancient alleys known as “carruggi.”
