This manor farm, entirely built in stone, is very typical of this area: white, of irregular shape, with a main building and the other spaces developing around, like a bunch. The restaurant, the rooms, the cellars, the wood oven look onto the big courtyard, the centre of the country life. In the surroundings, only the immense countryside and woods: the stunning panorama of “Canale di Pirro”, a karsik valley inhabited since ancient times, and now heart of the “ Regional park of Barsento”.

Production: cultivation and breeding

The farm is composed by 3 adjacent manor farms, the “Torricella” for the hospitality and the other two for the proper agriculture; the main cultivations are: vineyards, arable lands (grain, barley, oat, fodder), olive trees, vegetables and orchards (apples, pears, cherries, figs, peaches and plums), extending for approx. 150 hectares.

The breeding of dairy cows is the main livestock activity, together with the rearing of beef calves, sheep, pigs, wild boars, and many other courtyard animals. And in the wood live freely horses and donkeys.

The products

Everything here is our production: fresh cheeses (mozzarella, primosale, ricotta), half-seasoned (caciocavallo, cacioricotta) and seasoned cheeses ( canestrato pugliese), salamis, extra virgin olive oil (by cold squeezing), jams, wines ( reds like Primitivo and Cabernet Sauvignon, whites like Fiano of Itria Valley), and also meat, milk, bread and fruit.

It's possible to buy the products directly at the Manor farm, as a memory or present from the beautiful Puglia.
