Rocco Caliandro represents the sixth generation in the olive growing and farming tradition of the Caliandro family. The young Rocco wants to continue the path of dedication to the countryside, to agriculture already started by his great-grandfather and continued first by his grandfather and then by his father, respecting tradition and the environment. The company has been operating in the agricultural and olive-growing sector specifically, for over 200 years, and recently also in the wine-growing sector, using only locally-owned grapes from 15 hectares of vineyards in the most vocated areas of Puglia between Salento and Valle d'Itria
