The story of our passion

The Evolution of Our Land (2006 - Today)
What you see today is the result of years of patience, care, and respect for nature's cycles. Here are the milestones of our journey:
The Awakening of the Olive Trees
It all started with care. We pruned and revitalized 340 centuries-old olive trees (Leccino variety), true protected natural monuments. Alongside them, we brought new life to the land by planting 40 pomegranate trees and a mixed orchard with apricots and almonds. To ensure the estate's green future, we built a cistern for water recovery and a citrus-scented orangery.
New Life
To produce excellent oil, we expanded the green family. We added 1,000 new olive trees (7 years old) to the ancient patriarchs, selecting prized varieties such as Coratina, Cima di Melfi, and Cipressino. This field blend is the secret to our oil's complexity.
The Rebirth of the Masseria
We transformed an ancient agricultural building into a small traditional Masseria. No trulli, but the solid white architecture of Apulian farmhouses. This gave birth to two charming apartments, designed for those seeking silence and authenticity.
Organic Certification
A milestone of transparency. San Virgilio obtained the "ICEA Organic Certificate" (Institute for Ethical and Environmental Certification). It's the official guarantee that our Extra Virgin Oil is pure, chemical-free, and cultivated with absolute respect for the environment.
The Farmer's House
The restoration continued with the renovation of the ancient farmhouse, the original dwelling of the farmers who worked this land before us. Today, these walls tell stories of toil and passion, offering a welcome that feels like home.

Our Commitment Today
Today, Società Agricola San Virgilio is a refuge for "slow" travelers and a proud producer of genuine oil. We invite our guests to walk among the monumental trees, breathe the salty air, and savor the true taste of Puglia.

The Earth's Generosity: The Organic Orchard
San Virgilio is not just olive trees. Beyond our approximately 1,300 sacred trees, the estate nurtures a lush organic orchard, home to ancient species perfectly adapted to the sun and arid soil of Puglia.
Walking along the characteristic dry-stone walls that trace the field boundaries, our guests find themselves immersed in a unique sensory journey. Here, the sea breeze mingles with the intense fragrances of oranges, lemons, figs, pomegranates, and majestic carob trees. A Mediterranean garden where nature, respected and cherished, generously offers its most authentic fruits.
