Write a reviewThank you for your hospitality! We had a great wine tasting with a walk through the vineyards and the different planting methods. Excellent explanations and we tasted the best wine! Try the Susumaniello, the grape is only available here and is unique. Thank you for everything Rosa!

We are 4 friends from Mantua, when we arrived at the company we were welcomed by Mrs. Rosa who with great availability showed us their vineyards and how the harvested grapes are processed!!! After the tour of the vineyards a rich tasting of typical local products of high quality awaited us as well as tasting of their excellent wines!! We truly thank the Melillo family from the bottom of our hearts for their generosity and availability!!!! Definitely recommended!

This place is everything you could want on a trip to Puglia. We stayed for one night in our camper van as part of a road trip around the south of Italy. The facilities are everything you need, Rosa and the team are very welcoming and clearly have a passion for what they do! We also did the wine tasting and tour which was excellent! Continue the great work guys and thank you for having us stay, we also very much miss Fritz the dog!!

We stopped for one night, quiet place, everyone was super nice to us. We came back late and despite the time they prepared a delicious roast, vegetables and lasagna. Excellent wine of their production. We will also return to visit the company since we did not have time this time. I recommend it. Thanks for the attention.

Amazing experience! We had a private tour with 5 bottles of wine tasted with the most delicious food. Everything was homemade with love from Tia Rosa. This fourth generation family vineyard is not to be missed. I don’t think we will ever have an experience quite like this one again.
