Marsicani’s father later introduced new cultivars, establishing specialized groves with a rationalized 6-by-6-meter spacing, which remains the standard layout on the 70-hectare property today. “Alongside Pisciottana, Rotondella, Frantoio and Leccino already present, I planted new groves of Ortice, Itrana and Morcona.” In Cilento, Marsicani Builds Modern Oils from Deep Rural Roots | Olive Oil Times
