Imperiale – Garda Trentino

IMPERIALE
Garda Trentino

Imperiale is the oil that best highlights the character of our region, which is the northernmost area in the world with an olive-growing tradition. Olive cultivation in the area stretches back more than 2,000 years, passed down from generation to generation.

 

THE BOTTLE
