Collazzi:

The Collazzi winery is located just a few kilometres from Florence and has been owned by the Marchi family since 1933. It is an impressive 400-hectare estate, of which more than 25 hectares are planted with vines and 140 hectares with olive trees.

Since the mid-1990s, a reorganisation of the vineyards and the winery has given the estate a new lease of life. The olive trees are the second important component of the estate's production and are grown in a special culture to produce a valuable virgin olive oil of the highest quality.
