🏡 Tastings & visitsTerra d'Otranto DOP

Giovanni Melcarne tends to generations of olive groves rooted in Salento's limestone soil. His Terra d'Otranto DOP extra virgin oils carry the mineral imprint of Puglia's southernmost corner—Ogliarola varieties yielding green notes of cardoon and chicory, others releasing tomato and orchard fruit. Visitors to Gagliano del Capo discover a producer who expresses terroir through ceramic vessels designed to honour each oil's distinct character.
