Umbrian Intensity, No Apologies
Il Sincero lives up to its name — bold, honest and uncompromising. It’s a powerful monocultivar moraiolo,This is a robust Umbrian extra virgin olive oil built on freshness, structure and intensity, made for those who love real bitterness and a decisive peppery kick.
Tasting Profile
Aroma: Explosive and green, with fresh-cut grass, thistle, artichoke and wild herbs, lifted by balsamic notes of mint, rosemary and basil.
Palate: Powerful and persistent. Expect artichoke, chicory and lettuce, followed by sweet almond, cracked black pepper and a hint of cinnamon. The bitterness is firm, the spice long and spicy — perfectly balanced and unmistakably serious.
