Agritourism

THE LE GROTTE DI SILENO ESTATE COVERS 60 ACRES ON AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE OCCUPIED THROUGH THE CENTURIES BY THE PEUCETII, THE GREEKS, THE ROMANS AND, MORE RECENTLY, THE NORMANS AND THE BENEDICTINE MONKS. AS THE DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT WINE CELLARS AND THE EXTRAORDINARY MILLENNIUM-OLD OLIVE TREESTHAT GROW HERE BEAR WITNESS, WINE AND OLIVE OIL HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PRODUCED IN THIS AREA OF APULIA. THESE TRADITIONS HAVE BEEN NURTURED WITH PASSION THROUGH THE AGES BY LOCAL LANDOWNERS WHO RECOGNISE THE IMPORTANCE OF CONSTANT RESEARCH INTO ORGANIC GROWING TECHNIQUES AND THE PARSIMONIOUS USE OF WATER RESOURCES.
