Cadenela

The family nickname, Cadenela, refers to the term used in the ancient local dialect for olive shoots, the so-called mignole. And it is the brand chosen by Giuseppe Lupieri, who has been running this big farm, situated in the favourable district of Vodnjan, since 2009. The estate includes 30 hectares of specialized olive grove with 7,000 trees. In the last harvest 500 quintals of olives were produced, equal to a yield of 55 hectolitres of extra virgin olive oil.

We recommend the Extra Virgin Cadenela - For Meat from Organic Farming, which is a beautiful intense limpid golden yellow colour with slight green hues. Its aroma is definite and rotund, endowed with vegetal hints of artichoke, lettuce and celery, together with fresh notes of aromatic herbs, especially mint and rosemary. Its taste is robust and fine, with a spicy flavour of black pepper and a strong almond finish. Bitterness is powerful and pungency is distinct and harmonic.

Another positive performance for Giuseppe Lupieri, who confirms his position in the Flos Olei Guide (2024) proposing a good product to the Flos Olei panel. Since 2009 he has been running a big farm, situated in the favourable district of Vodnjan. The estate includes 30 hectares of specialized olive grove with 7,000 trees. 

The selection proposed to the Flos Olei panel is the very good Extra Virgin Cadenela - For Meat from Organic Farming, which has a beautiful intense limpid golden yellow colour with slight green hues. Its aroma is definite and rotund, rich in vegetal hints of artichoke, lettuce and celery, together with fresh notes of basil, mint and rosemary. Its taste is exuberant and complex, with a fruity flavour of unripe tomato and white apple and a finish of black pepper and almond. Bitterness is powerful and pungency is distinct and harmonic.
