La Pigola, a Podere in Tuscany

Esordio

The Identity of the Land

The Liqueur Born from
the Soul of the Olive Tree

Some plants bear fruit. Others tell a story.

For thousands of years, the olive tree has shaped the Mediterranean landscape, becoming a timeless symbol of peace, prosperity and a deep connection to the land. For generations, we have honoured its fruit through the production of our Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Yet our passion for discovery led us to look beyond, towards what often goes unnoticed: its leaves.

From this vision comes Esordio, an artisanal liqueur crafted through the maceration of olive leaves, capturing in every sip the true identity of our land.

REFINED CHARACTER

An Original Interpretation
of tradition

Esordio is the result of a journey that brings together agricultural expertise and a spirit of innovation.

The olive leaves are carefully selected and processed to preserve their aromatic qualities, transforming them into an elegant, balanced and unexpectedly distinctive liqueur.

The result is a liqueur defined by its refined character: delicate vegetal notes blend seamlessly with soft, lingering aromatic nuances, creating a flavour profile that is both original and instantly recognisable.

FROM THE HILLS OF BOLGHERI

The Essence of the Land

Esordio is born in the heart of Tuscany's Etruscan Coast, between the Tyrrhenian Sea, centuries-old olive groves and the rolling hills of Bolgheri.

It is a liqueur deeply rooted in the landscape that gives it life: the radiant Tuscan light, the sea breeze and the agricultural heritage that has shaped our family's story for more than seventy years.

Every glass reflects the authenticity of this land and the passion of those who have cared for it, day after day.

A TASTE OF BOLGHERI

To Be Savoured Slowly

Its elegant character makes it the perfect sipping liqueur and a refined way to end a meal.

Served chilled, Esordio reveals the full harmony of its aromatic profile. 

The palate opens with a smooth, velvety texture, followed by the distinctive vegetal bitterness characteristic of the olive tree's natural polyphenols. The finish is long, clean and lingering.

A New Way to Experience the Olive Tree

With Esordio, we chose to tell the story of the olive tree from a different perspective, transforming a part of the plant that is often overlooked into an authentic and distinctive experience.

A tribute to the Mediterranean tradition and, at the same time, a vision that embraces new possibilities.
