Four Generations. One Grove.
In 1885, Vincenzo planted the first olive tree on this land, a few kilometres from the coast of southern Italy. Four generations later, his great-granddaughter Arianna still tends these trees with the same care. Same soil. Same sun. Same joy.
Our masseria, a fortified farmhouse dating to the 13th century, remains the heart of production of our award-winning extra virgin olive oil to this day.
Arianna studied economics and business in Rome, the Netherlands and France before returning to Puglia. As a certified EVOO sommelier, she now guides visitors through the art of tasting with the same rigour used by professional judges, but with a lot more warmth and family stories. Every visit leaves you knowing more about olive oil and Italian culture than when you arrived.
The women who sang to these trees at harvest gave the family its spirit. That spirit lives in the oil. You'll taste it in the peppery finish of the Coratina, the smooth roundness of the Biancolilla, and the brightness of the early-harvest Peranzana. When you visit, you take a little bit of it home with you.
Your host
Arianna is a fourth-generation olive farmer and certified EVOO sommelier. She holds a degree in economics and business and returned to Puglia to take over the family farm with a commitment to sustainable production and genuine hospitality.
Arianna has guided hundreds of guests from around the world through the grove and the tasting room. Reviews consistently highlight her passion, knowledge, and the way she makes every visitor feel like a welcome friend rather than a tourist.
The masseria
Masseria Cantasole sits in the open countryside between Ostuni and Brindisi, about 15 minutes from Brindisi airport and 30 from Ostuni and Lecce. The estate grows over twelve varieties of olives, including many centenarian trees that have been looked after with care for four generations.
The property includes the original 13th-century stone farmhouse and an endless sea of olive trees providing welcome shade for the tasting and aperitivo. Free parking is available for all guests.
