Gagliano del Capo - Oil Mill

Frantoio Oleario Melcarne Andrea

Our family is very large , and since 1856 in Gagliano del Capo we’ve been dealing with olive growing and oil production. Olive growing has always been the main occupation of the family, the great love, our passion: the landscape of Salento, characterized by vast expanses of olive trees, would determine our future work. Our olive groves today extend over about 40 hectares in the countryside of Gagliano del Capo and Alessano. Age-old olive trees live in our land, real monuments of our history and the history of Salento, that we preserve with careful devotion. The olive tree for our people is a vital and sacred plant, source of life and future: in the mid-800, our family already gave birth to an underground oil mill with millstones and presses, soon replaced by machines ever more in step with the times. In the ‘60s, thanks to our innovative spirit, we were among the first to introduce, in the lower Salento, very important machines for local agricultural development, such as the thresher for processing grain, and large earth-moving machinery. The search for the perfect balance between tradition and innovation is continuous, and still characterizes our work, which

Salice Salentino - Wineries

Leone de Castris

Salice Salentino, a small village in Salento rich in vineyards and olive trees, is the landscape giving life to Leone de Castris’ wine tradition. It is exactly here, on the very spot where today’s cellar stands, that in 1665 Duke Oronzo, Earl of Lemos, gave birth to the company. He got enchanted by this landscape and decided to sell all his properties in Spain in order to draw the best from the Salentine rich terroir. He began to plant new vines, olive trees and wheat along 5 thousand hectares‘ properties, not only in Salice, but also in Guagnano, Veglie, Villa Baldassarri, Novoli and San Pancrazio. From the beginning of the 19th century the Winery used to export bulk wine to the United States, Germany and France until, with Piero and Lisetta Leone de Castris, the bottling had its start in 1925. An extremely important year, 1943, marks the birth of Five Roses and the improvement of the bottling line that has seen our rosé being the first ever bottled in Italy and sold first of all in USA. The production of Five Roses, in fact, began during the end of the Second World War, thanks to the initiative and boldness of Don Piero. He had his wine tasted by the American Genera

vetrere

We, Annamaria and Francesca , have given life to the name Vetrere, an expression of our passion for wine, heritage and respect for the land, living in a natural environment, respecting traditions and following important objectives. The mild climate, the fertile land, the slow passing of time all play an important part in our wine production. The grapes, which make the wines, come from cultivated wine groves, immersed between sloping hills, ancient olive trees, in the heart of Salento. Helped by these harmonious surroundings, with a continued passion for taste

Andria - Wineries

Azienda Vinicola Rivera Spa

Rivera winery was founded by Sebastiano de Corato in the late 1940s, inspired by a vision of realising the enormous viticultural potential of the calcareous hills of the Castel del Monte area. Widespread recognition quickly followed, and Rivera became the benchmark of Apulia wine production and the force driving its rebirth, thanks as well to innovations in both winemaking and vineyards. The 75 hectares of estate vineyards yield native grape varieties, such as Bombino nero, Nero di Troia, Montepulciano, and Aglianico, but international varieties as well, such as Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc
