Az. Agr. Caprioli Elia

In Vieste, on the Gargano extremity of the province of Foggia, Caprioli Elia operates within the Dauno DOP area, a broad perimeter encompassing sixty-one municipalities. Here, the company does not produce wine but extra virgin olive oil, and it concentrates all its work on this single denomination. The product bears the clear hallmarks of the Apulian terroir: a chromatic hue that shifts from green to yellow, marked fruity notes, and a spicy and bitter finish that defines its character. The company's practice is rooted in the region's Mediterranean olive growing, but it translates this into a measured profile, far from any excess. The sun-exposed slopes of the Gargano peninsula, with their particular microclimate, directly influence the oil's balance, conveying the warmth and salinity of this corner of Puglia. A single DOP, therefore, interpreted with almost monographic attention: proof that even within such broad boundaries—sixty-one municipalities—a single producer can establish a recognizable and consistent accent that remains the same from one harvest to the next.
