On December 19th, the historic Teatro Niccolini in Florence will host the first edition of “Novo”, the new annual event created by the Chianti Classico PDO Olive Oil Consortium to present the fresh olive oil of the new harvest.
The 2025 edition carries a special meaning: the Consortium celebrates its
A unique chance to taste the new Chianti Classico Extra Vigin Olive Oils
“Novo” will offer the public – enthusiasts, operators and the curious – the opportunity to preview the new Chianti Classico DOP oils of the 2025 campaign. Very fresh, intense, recognisable oils, capable of expressing all the complexity of the territory between Florence and Siena, where today the denomination counts oltre 250 produttori e più di 3.800 ettari di oliveti.
The evening includes a signature dinner by Andrea Perini, the “extra virgin” chef, who will create a menu entirely designed to showcase Gallo Nero olive oils.
On stage will be Gionni Pruneti, President of the Consortium, together with representatives of the agricultural world, institutions, and the producers of the Gallo Nero territory.
More than an ingredient: a landscape in a bottle
Chianti Classico PDO olive oil is far more than a condiment. It is a piece of Tuscan culture: landscape, craftsmanship, and rural heritage concentrated in a single product. 
And this, in my opinion, is the greatest strength of the denomination—its ability to grow while remaining authentic, rooted, and true to its identity.
As Pruneti highlighted: “Novo is a moment of pride and sharing. Chianti Classico PDO olive oil embodies quality, identity, and sustainability.”
A statement that, honestly, sums up the spirit of the event well.
A celebration of culture, territory, and taste
“Novo” is not only a celebration of a new harvest, but an opportunity to reconnect people with the world of olive oil—its culture, its values, and the deep relationship between land, tradition, and flavor that defines the Chianti Classico region.
An unmissable event for anyone who loves this territory.
