We have been living in Puglia since 1040<\/span>, our is a family that from Normandy<\/span> arrived in Terra d\u2019Otranto<\/span> centuries ago.<\/p>\n

We have a lot to tell, so many stories handed down, many historical figures who have been connected to us, in the past we even hosted kings and saints<\/span>, but the story that we like telling the most is the one that binds us to the earth: we have been cultivating it for almost thousand years, we see ourselves as farmers<\/span> and thus, guardians of the Apulian agricultural heritage.<\/p>\n

The wines, oils, cereals, legumes and preserves we produce reflect the character of our territory<\/span> and tell of sun, sea, land, passion, history, elegance, culture and hospitality.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Accardo Guarini, Count of Valesio, in 1114 cultivated his vineyard<\/span> in the P\u00ecutri estate, overlooking the Adriatic sea between Lecce and Brindisi. Since then and for a lucky fate, we, the Guarini family continue to take care of those vineyards<\/span> that are still rooted in the same wonderful Salento<\/span>, respecting the traditions, without sacrificing innovation<\/span>.<\/p>\n

We own 700 hectares of property , farms and masserie in Salento<\/span>, 70 of which are vineyards in the estate of Torchiarolo , 260 olive groves in the estate of Scorrano. In many of these lands we cultivate vegetables, ancient grains<\/span> and new rediscoveries such as fiber and seed hemp . We own a cellar and a historic mill<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Here begins the journey to discover the places of wine<\/span>, oil, delicacies and hospitality.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Our family, in the various fiefs<\/span> that were granted since the twelfth century, has always favored the development of agriculture<\/span>, especially viticulture and wine production. Until today, in our property, the old wine cellars<\/span> tell about this vocation, so intimately linked the land and the lives of twenty-five generations. We still work hard to safeguard the typical vines<\/span> and olive trees, we support with great conviction all the grape varieties that Salento can offer.<\/p>\n

At a time when agriculture is disappearing, we feel a bit like a last bastion<\/span> of the agricultural culture of this territory in all its complexity and variety, we try to resist the savage globalization, to protect the environment and consumers<\/span>, therefore all our grapes and wines, olives and oils, vegetables and cereals are cultivated and strictly certified organic<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
