The farm
Lucchi & Guastalli

The farm Lucchi & Guastalli

The farm covers about 12 hectares of terraced hillside olive groves, located partly in the municipality of Riomaggiore, in the Busanco area, and partly in the municipality of Santo Stefano di Magra, divided into three plots, different in altitude and pedoclimatic characteristics. Land management, implemented through controlled grassing, is aimed at maintaining natural fertility and preventing erosion. The company applies monitoring and integrated phytosanitary defense techniques, through the priority application of organic farming methods.
The company’s olive groves are all certified DOP Riviera Ligure, Riviera di Levante sub-area.
The Razzola olive, largely prevalent on the company’s land, is the main variety of the Riviera Ligure DOP grown in the province of La Spezia. The olive, which offers a good oil yield, is characterized by a gentle bearing, medium-sized fruit with evident lenticels and a long, gradual ripening. The veraison begins in early October and lasts until the winter period; in cases of considerable production it is possible to find olives still green on the plant until February. The oil obtained from it, between October and November, is characterized by a medium fruity aroma of the green type, sweet on the palate with a medium spicy and slightly bitter aftertaste, enriched with sensory notes of artichoke and aromatic herbs.
Lucchi & Guastalli Oil mill
The oil mill adopts the water-saving two-phase Pieralisi continuous system.
In all stages of processing the temperature never exceeds 27 ° – cold extraction.
The first oil mill in Liguria that does not produce waste from its production cycle: clean and renewable energy is obtained from residual biomass: the wood seeds are recovered as ecological fuel for heating the water used in the company, while the pomace is sent to a biogas plant for the production of electricity.
The strengths of the new plant are the refrigerated knife crusher where the olives are broken quickly at low temperatures, and the Protoreactor, the revolutionary Pieralisi innovation that in a few minutes favors the extraction of oil, preserving its freshness and aromas.
The two-phase integral decanter separates the oil without diluting with water, preserving the antioxidant and aromatic substances contained in the oil to the maximum.
We are proud to affirm, without any doubt, that ours is truly and profoundly an “ECOLOGICAL MILL”.

Our oil
Classica Line – Extravirgin Olive Oils
These are the oils produced by Lucchi and Guastalli for over 15 years, starting from Italian olives selected from fine varieties, oils that have achieved important national and international awards. The long relationship of trust established over the years with suppliers and our consolidated production techniques guarantee the quality of the products, always high and constant over time.
Albero della Vita Line
This line includes different types of oils, conventional or organic, of high quality Italian varieties, enhanced either as monovarietal or as unpublished olive trees, made by Marco Lucchi with the aim of combining the different varieties in the right proportion to provide suitable original products to different uses. They are oils made by their nature in limited quantities, shown on the label together with the list of varieties used.
Our Wine
The estate, which has always been called “Il Giardino”, is the chosen place in Vezzano Ligure, for its particular and happy position. The medium-textured soil, characterized by a gentle slope and a favorable south-west exposure, constantly ventilated by sea breezes, is fertile and suitable for growing grapes.
The first settlement of Albarola, older than 50 years, is flanked by the subsequent plants of Vermentino and Sangiovese of about 20 years of age, with some integration of Merla (Canaiolo Nero) and Malvasia.
Here we produce our wines: Vermentino DOC Colli di Luni, Rosso DOC Colli di Luni and Rosato IGT Liguria di Levante, wines whose unique aromas and flavors tell the story of the place where the vineyards have their roots.
The starry sky painted ceiling of the Cappelletta, the dry stone walls and the ancient stone colonnades become a decorative element of our labels.
A crucial element for the success of the products is the collaboration with the enologist Francesco Petacco, an experienced and well-known technician, who combines innate concreteness and the ability to interpret the ideas and aspirations of our company with profound enological knowledge.
Our honey
In Riomaggiore, in the area of the Cinque Terre National Park, in addition to the olive grove from which the exclusive DOP Riviera Ligure “Terre d’Amare” is obtained, there is an apiary. Here we produce the precious Erica honey arborea, characteristic essence of the area, and Acacia and Chestnut honeys. Cinque Terre honey is the product of an uncontaminated environment free from chemical conditioning, an oasis where the beauty of Nature is integrated with the work of man, creator of the characteristic dry stone walls. Here our bees operate safely favored by the mild and sunny climate, only taking shelter in the hive when sea winds sometimes make flight difficult.
Bees are pollinating insects, the foundation of our ecosystem. Today they are in danger of extinction, their breeding is the only way we have to save them.
We want to involve you in their protection: with the “adopt a hive” initiative (direct link) you can help us protect them and discover their mysterious world by following the life of a family for a whole year.
