Olive farm at auction in Barrali and Samatzai (CA)

AT AUCTION Olive farm in Barrali and Samatzai (CA), State Road 128

The "San Giovanni" Olive Farm, covering approximately 20 hectares, is located in Sardinia, within the territories of the Municipalities of Barrali and Samatzai in the Province of Cagliari, and is entirely well demarcated and fenced.
Access is provided by three separate entrances via a farm road directly connected to State Road 128, which runs from Cagliari toward the important Trexenta centre of Senorbì, and the property is partially visible from the same State Road, with which it borders in part.
All cadastral data relating to the Farm are reported in the appraisal, available for consultation upon request via certified email (PEC).
The farm in question has been in operation for thirty years; therefore, the trees are in their full production phase. On average, olive trees reach maximum structural and biological maturity after 50 years, remaining productive for many more years.
As an operation under "Organic Pest Management", over the years it has carried out exclusively natural treatments.
Within the farm there are about 5,000 trees, of which about 400 along the boundary perimeter and 250 in the hilly area.
The other olive trees present are about 700 of the so-called "Bosana" variety and another 3,500 of the "Tonda di Cagliari" variety, also known as "Nera di Gonnos".
The harvest can be used both for the production of olive oil and for the production of table olives.
The production potential for mature, properly tended domestic olive trees averages between 30 and 60 kg per tree per year, with peaks of 80–90 kg in particularly favourable years, and the oil yield ranges between 4 and 12 litres of oil per tree, considering an average production yield of 15–20% of the weight of the olives.
It should be noted, however, that the olive tree generally alternates a year of heavy yield with a year of reduced productivity, and that careful management of the farm is always recommended by carrying out proper annual pruning and using suitable natural products for protection against pests such as the olive fly, various insects and fungi.
In this regard, it should also be noted that the Sardinia Region, upon specific application and verification of regulatory requirements, grants very significant contributions for the execution of the necessary pruning works.

Considering our specific case, the trees of the so-called "Bosana" variety have naturally very high productivity, which can reach an average of 40–50 kg of olives per tree, with a natural alternation in production (one particularly heavy year and one with reduced productivity).
Its oil yield is still quite high and has historically been between 17% and 18%, with peaks of 20% at late ripening, and oil production is estimated at about 7–10 litres of oil per tree.
"Bosana" produces a highly prized extra virgin olive oil, characterised by a fruity, medium-intense taste with typical notes of artichoke and thistle.

The "Tonda di Cagliari" variety, namely "Nera di Gonnos", is a variety that can have a dual use: it is used both for the production of an excellent extra virgin olive oil and as table olives, thanks precisely to its large size and its flesh.
At around 30 years, the tree produces between 35 and 50 kg of olives per year and its production is more constant than that of "Bosana".
Since its vegetation water remains trapped in the fleshy pulp of the drupe, its average yield generally stands around 14%–15%, with an estimated oil production of about 5–7.5 litres of oil per tree.
"Nera di Gonnos" produces an oil that is sweeter and more delicate than "Bosana", with a light fruitiness, which is suitable for those who do not want stronger flavours.
Very often the two types of trees can be found within the same olive grove because "Tonda di Cagliari" is an excellent pollinator for "Bosana" and together they create perfect environmental synergy.

Within the "San Giovanni" olive farm, in the hilly area there is a warehouse of about 116 sq m used as a "farmhouse" and a warehouse of about 117 sq m used as the main storage, while further down there is a water storage tank fed by wells of about 60,000 litres, two tool sheds of about 25 sq m, two service cabins of 7 sq m each, and 11 electrical poles.
