Palazzo di Varignana is a project hinged around the recovery and regeneration of historic buildings, abandoned rural lands, and farmhouses along with crops that have been discontinued. Founded in 2015, our agricultural estate stretches today over 700 hectares of land. Thanks to the restoration of the ancient varieties of native olive trees, extending for 265 hectares, we are proud to produce one of the most awarded and recognized extra virgin olive oil in the world. Alongside the olive groves, there are also 57 hectares of vineyards, 3,000 square meters of vegetable gardens, a vast orchard, and an original and rare crop of saffron.
This project intends to bring forward values such as tradition, local area, excellence, and health.
The Extra Virgin Olive Oil of Palazzo di Varignana has obtained the Municipal Designation of Origin from the Municipality of Bologna, distinguishing itself in the panorama of local excellence.
The Municipality of Bologna has decided to establish its own Municipal Denomination (De.Co.), in order to survey and enhance the agri-food activities and products of the area and as a tool for promoting the image of Bologna.
We are proud to be present in most Eataly stores around the world, especially in the Middle East, such as Dubai, Kuwait, and Qatar.

Olive Oil Collection
Starting in 2015, an ambitious agronomic
project began to redevelop the landscape by
bringing large portions of uncultivated land and
ancient native cultivars back into activity. Today
we boast one of the largest olive groves in all of
northern Italy, covering more than 260 hectares.
Our passion and respect for the land have led us
to choose the most representative cultivars of the
Bologna hills, such as Ghiacciola and Nostrana.
These, together with other typical varieties, give
rise to a collection of extra virgin oils that stand
out for their great complexity, aromatic and
taste balance: products of excellence that tell a
love story with nature. In November 2023 we
inaugurated the new oil mill, the production
site where all the processing takes place
surrounded by the more than 160,000 olive
trees of our property. The proximity of the mill
to the olive groves allows us immediate milling
of the harvest, guaranteeing the highest quality
and the possibility of having an integrated km0
supply chain in one place. Thanks to the latest
technologies we can process each variety of
olive at the specific temperature enhancing its
characteristics and preserving a high amount of
polyphenols

Wine Collection
The winemaking project took its first steps in
2016 with the planting of selected local grape
varieties such as Sangiovese, Malbo Gentile
and Pignoletto, and international varieties such
as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc,
varieties with unmistakable qualities that have
been successful in capturing the uniqueness of
the Varignana terroir. The vines weave across the
slopes and ridges of a natural amphitheater at
an altitude ranging from 150 to 230 m asl. Fresh
breezes from the Apennines benefit the grapes
in the summer, ensuring a slow and balanced
development of the aromas and flavors of the
fruit, while in the winter, the hills protect the
vineyard from the cold. The single Guyot vine
training system is used with a prevalent east-west
orientation and a planting density of 5,000 vines
per hectare. Our experts meticulously monitor
the vines throughout all the phenological stages
of the plant. The grapes undergo a rigorous
selection process in the field and in the winery
