In the heart of Sabina, among ancient hills and centuries-old olive groves, stands the Antico Casale Falconieri.

Here, the olive tree is not merely a crop, but a living memory of the land — shaped by time and safeguarded through generations.

Falconieri Experience was created to guide visitors in discovering this heritage through carefully designed olive oil tourism journeys that blend landscape, olive mill visits, and guided tastings, celebrating extra virgin olive oil as an authentic expression of local culture.

A touch of history…

Roots as ancient as history, fruits as precious as memory.

The image of the Sabina hills, dotted with silvery expanses of olive trees, predates even the founding of Rome. For millennia, this landscape has welcomed travelers, poets, agronomists, and pilgrims, leaving each with a lasting visual and aromatic memory of dark oak woods, emerald pastures, and timeless olive groves.

On our hillsides, olive trees grow naturally, nourished by a generous microclimate and gently warmed by the sun. This is their natural homeland — a place where, for centuries, they have produced an oil renowned for its balance, lightness, and intensity. Its virtues were already praised by Cato, Varro, Columella, and Galen, who described them with scholarly rigor in their writings.

Yet this story lives not only in books — it lives among the trees.

It reveals itself along the Falconieri paths, in the scent of wild calendula and the graceful flight of starlings. It can be felt by running one’s hand over bark sculpted by time, shaped by wind, carved by the passing seasons. The monumental olive trees that inhabit this land seem to emerge directly from a shared, collective memory.

They were already here when Casale Falconieri was built in the 17th century. They stood firm a century later, when severe frosts devastated Sabina’s olive groves — ours endured. They watched over these hills at the end of the 19th century, when the area became a refuge for the brigands Geremia and Fontana. And they remain here today, silent sentinels of our history.

Each autumn, they bear rare, fragrant fruits, including the legendary “Oliva di Olevano” — an ancient variety documented right here at Falconieri — from which an olive oil of extraordinary digestibility, lightness, and persistence is produced.

Today, their care rests in our hands.

Olive growers for generations, we understand the value of this heritage. It is both our responsibility and our privilege to protect its strength, beauty, and fertility, so that these trees may continue to offer their green gold for another thousand years — honoring this land and its ancient soul.
