The characteristic and grand farm Il Cardinale has certainly been there since 1197.
Along the sheep-track there was La Capoposta (that is the agritourist farm il Cardinale), so called because it was a stage where pilgrims and horses could rest and take meals, a sort of agritourist farm.
The farm is in full working, thus it gives you the opportunity of being present at the different phases of the production of cereals, forage and wine.
The farm 's cupboards are full of the products of hens ' and chickens ' breeding, of kitchen - garden and of orchards, so that you can taste the typical meals of Puglia. As a consequence of this, the farm offers a fixed menu.
Besides, you can buy local specialties, wine, oil, eggs, chickens, rabbits, green in season or in oil and pickles; it is possible to relish local fresh cheeses, homemade spirits, pasta and ice-cream or the delicious jam and marmalade.
The owners give personally reception to the guests, who can exchange cultural ideas and opinions with them.
