Extra virgin olive oil is a fundamental ingredient in Italian cuisine, and the Ogliarola Barese and Coratina oils you mentioned offer a diverse range of flavors that can enhance various dishes due to their distinctive characteristics. Here are some recommended culinary pairings for each:
Ogliarola Barese Oil.
Light salads: Perfect for dressing fresh salads with delicate ingredients like lettuce, arugula, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and mozzarella. Ogliarola Barese oil enhances the natural flavors of the vegetables without overpowering them.
White fish: Excellent for accompanying delicate-flavored fish such as sea bream, sea bass, sole, and cod. It can be used both for cooking and as a raw dressing, perhaps with a touch of lemon.
Grilled vegetables: The delicate oil pairs well with grilled zucchini, eggplants, and bell peppers, enhancing their flavors without overshadowing them.
Bruschetta: Ideal for dressing simple bruschettas with fresh tomatoes, basil, and a pinch of salt. Ogliarola Barese oil adds a touch of freshness and sweetness.

Red meats: Ideal for seasoning grilled meats such as steaks, beef tagliata, or lamb. The intensity of Coratina oil enhances the robust flavors of the meat.
Legume soups: Perfect for bean, lentil, or chickpea soups, where the oil can add depth and complexity of flavor. A drizzle of raw oil on top of hot soup is an excellent finishing touch.
Bitter vegetables: Great for strong-flavored vegetables like chicory, turnip tops, and radicchio. Coratina oil balances the bitterness of the vegetables with its intensity.
Aged cheeses: Pairs well with strong and aged cheeses such as pecorino, Parmigiano Reggiano, and gorgonzola. It can be used to dress a slice of cheese or as part of a vinaigrette for salads including these cheeses.
Bread and focaccia: Try it with toasted bread or focaccia, where the oil can be the main element to enjoy its intensity. A sprinkle of coarse salt and rosemary can complete the pairing.

WINEMAKER / BRICCO VISCONTI
Natural wine, or rather wine crafted through natural methods, is born from the laborious work in the vineyard, where the earth is honored by banning all sorts of synthetic pesticides or phytosanitary products. Only sulfur and copper, within the limits allowed by organic regulations, find their place in this strict respect for the environment.
The red wines – Miass, Più, and Sofì – come from grapes that we destem and leave to ferment. The wine then matures in ceramic egg-shaped vessels for a year.
The rosé wines – Rosè di Pit, Luise, and Vì – result from grapes that we destem, crush, and ferment for longer than the reds. The wine then matures in porcelain ceramic egg-shaped vessels. Later, they are bottled using the bottle refermentation method.

Today, this extensive municipality, located halfway between Pisa and Florence, remains a significant center for grape production, with around 600 hectares of vineyards.
