CHIANTI OLIVE OIL
HISTORY
THE ORIGINS
Francesca Bubba Lombardi carries the love for the countryside in her veins. She spends her childhood in the Piacenza countryside where her family owns a cattle farm. Her grand grandfather Pietro Bubba founded the first Italian factory producing motorized agriculture vehicles in the city of Rottofreno (Piacenza).
1973
Francesca, con il marito Donato, corona il suo sogno
di passione per la campagna, acquistando un podere
di 60 ha a Castellina in Chianti, con una splendida posizione a 500 m di altezza, fra vigneti e boschi delle aziende
più blasonate del Chianti Classico.

50IES
In the 50ies the family business is sold to an American company, the new “Arbus-Bubba”. After the death of his father Francesco moves to Milan with his family never forgetting the scents of the countryside and always longing to go back to live in the middle of trees and forests.
A DIFFERENT CHOICE
Francesca, Donato and their children Elena and Federico make a different choice than their neighbours who invest in the production of Chianti Classico wine. Understanding the extraordinary natural quality of the ground (75% Galestro) they plant 4000 autochthonous olive trees choosing the best quality among the varieties of Leccino, Maurino, Correggiolo, Frantoiano, Moraiolo and Pendolino.
