Leccio del Corno
LECCIO DEL CORN The origin is Tuscany and it is a decidedly interesting cultivar for its history and characteristics. Its identification took place, almost by chance, in 1929 at the Fattoria del Corno in San Casciano Val di Pesa. Hence the name LECCIO DEL CORNO.The diffusion has remained fairly limited to the regional ambit. The olives are late ripening and give an oil of great structure, particularly aromatic and rich in polyphenols. In this sense it resembles the MORAIOLO variety. Upon tasting it is perceived a powerful fruitiness with decisive bitter tones. The spicy finish is adequate and consistent with the overall structure. With strong and clear hints of fruit, artichoke, bay leaf, thyme and sage are sometimes perceived.
