From the\u00a0<strong>very low production yield<\/strong>\u00a0of this harvest, equal to 11%, we produced only 6,500 bottles of 500 ml\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Thus a\u00a0<strong>Biancolilla of particular fineness was obtained, characterized by a light fruitiness<\/strong>, with hints of ribbed tomatoes and aromatic herbs, such as rosemary and thyme: a delicate oil that excels on fresh salads and fish dishes.<\/p>\n<p>An oil to be appreciated for its flavours and for the evocative and timeless landscape of which it is an ambassador: the terraces overlooking the sea, the dry stone walls, the twisted trunks of the older olive trees with their very wide umbrella of branches and leaves. The release of Donnafugata\u2019s Biancolilla 2019 was immediately greeted\u00a0<strong>by a prestigious award, the coveted 5\u00a0<em>Gocce Bibenda<\/em><\/strong>, awarded only to the best Italian oils.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs for wine \u2013\u00a0<strong>declares Jos\u00e8 Rallo of Donnafugata<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 also for olive oil we feel like the heirs of a millenary agriculture, and\u00a0<strong>we want to translate the flavours of the island into unique emotions<\/strong>.
