Besides their exquisite wines and extra virgin olive oils, they’re now crafting lavender essential oil and soon, even truffles and related products.
This 18th-century estate spans an impressive 272 acres, enveloped by olive groves, vineyards, woods, and lavender fields.
La Banditaccia’s commitment to purity and excellence shines in their wine, olive oil, and lavender products. It’s a testament to their dedication to preserving the natural beauty and bounty of the region.
