FRONT ROW SOCIETY: review by Annett Conrad

With joy we report the article of the editorialist Annett Conrad, of the FRONT ROW SOCIETY , prestigious German magazine dedicated to the selection of exclusive and high quality proposals, in the gourmet, tourism and automotive sectors. Thanks to Annett and Andreas, for having appreciated and described our Cellar so well.

Arrived at the end of the world! This is how it feels when you finally reach the property of the Del Rèbene boutique winery. The picturesquely located property is located on a hill, seemingly far from civilization. From here the view reaches unimaginable distances over the Berici Hills, whose hills in the distance are dominated by vineyards, olive groves and dense deciduous woods. The property is the home of Francesco Castegnaro and Claudia Serblin. With courage, energy, passion and an understanding of nature, they cultivate their vineyards and produce wines of unprecedented brilliance.

Life On The Hill – The olive tree of the hills: on the Berici since the thirteenth century

From the Blog “Life On The Hill”

The best known of the documents attesting to the presence of the olive tree and the production of olive oil on the Berici Hills, dates back to 1268.

In a long and detailed exposition of the rights of the then Bishop, in the territory of Barbarano Vicentino and neighboring areas, the custody of vines and olive trees and the production of oil were treated.
However, it seems that the olive tree arrived in Veneto before the year 1000, for liturgical purposes related to the Christian religion.
The Venetian domination gave impetus to the expansion of cultivation, which experienced abandonments, due to the onset of famines, and subsequent resumptions, such as that of the second post-war period and the most recent, linked to the project of a quality oil.

 

The PDO extra virgin olive oil from the Berici Hills

The oil of the Berici Hills is a precious and high quality oil. Most of the producers are gathered in Olibea, an association of Berici olive growers, which together with local institutions and trade associations started an experimental project on olive and oil quality in 2000.
The results have been excellent, and have brought many awards and high level awards to the product.

The olives from which it is extracted with a continuous cycle process, are mainly of four types (frantoio, leccino, pendolino, rasara) and give a marked green-gold color oil, with a strong taste, a fruity aroma of various intensities, with hints of cooked vegetables and aromas of bitter almond.
About twenty municipalities in the territory of the Berici Hills are affected by this production.
