Vineyards and olive groves

We cultivate our land according to organic farming principles, while respecting the biodiversity and native varieties of the area. Part of our hectares are planted with olive groves and vineyards. The remaining part are arable fields therefore designed for rotating cultivation of cereals and grains, as well as fruit trees and almond groves.

In the local oil mill, we turn fruits into organic products - genuine expression of the Apulian flavours.

WINE

Our sun-kissed vineyards are located in the most strategic points of the Itria Valley and surroundings. It’s hard to find a better location for our grapes that love heat and breath of the mistral wind - developing their special features of aroma, intensity and freshness. 

Our vineyards are located in the lands of Manduria, Ostuni, Grottaglie, different municipalities where different geological conditions, passing from the most calcareous soils to the most clayey, are intertwined in perfect harmony with the characters and extravagances of our unmistakable wines: Fiano bianco, Primitivo rosato, Primitivo rosso riserva, Susumaniello. 

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

About 30 hectares of the property are dedicated to olive groves. We favored local varieties: Cellina, Ogliarola, Simona, Picholine monocultivar and their blends.

We harvest our olives when at perfect ripeness degree, which coincides with the moment of 'invaiatura' - when olives begin to turn from green to purple.

The milling takes place in a constant cold cycle, strictly immediately after harvesting, while keeping the different cultivars separate. We package highly prized monocultivar oils, recognizable for their top-level sensory and nutritional properties, as well as an extremely pleasant taste - factors we believe to be the most genuine expression of our territory.

Our oils are stored in specific containers saturated with nitrogen and bottled only when ordering, to ensure maximum freshness and sensory characteristics.

Gli Olii e Vini della Masseria rispecchiano nostri principi ideologici: non usiamo antiparassitari o concimi chimicidi sintesi sulle piante, per la difesa delle coltivazioni dai parassiti agiamo preventivamente rinforzando le piante con fertilizzazioni organiche equilibrate e con sostanze antiparassitarie di origine naturale. Il nostro olio è un olio extra vergine di oliva proveniente da coltivazione controllata, dalla sua fase di crescita fino all’estrazione. Questo significa che un faticoso lavoro manuale sarà necessario allo scopo, e che si otterrà una minore quantità di olive rispetto a quelle realizzabili con un processo di raccolta meccanico. Un compromesso che accettiamo con entusiasmo, perché ricompensati dalla qualità superiore dei frutti che otteniamo.
