Agricultural Estate

A direct connection to the soul of the land

Borgo Mulino a Vento is deeply rooted in its earth and ancient rural traditions. A legacy of simple gestures, carefully preserved and shared with our guests. This is the origin of Tenuta D’Alba, where vegetables, olive oil, and ripe fruit are now cultivated, and whose gardens are open to resort guests.

At the heart of the resort

History

The origins of the agricultural estate

The estate was brought to life through the renovation of ancient stables set in the countryside. The setting is framed by rural dwellings, an ancient underground oil mill, and a courtyard - hallmarks of the region’s enduring rural heritage. Today, these spaces have been carefully restored to life, inviting our guests to experience them firsthand. Spaces where simple gestures regain their meaning, and nature brings a deep sense of serenity.

Oil

The ancient underground oil mill

Just steps from the resort, a 16th-century oil mill, carved into the rock, quietly guards southern Apulian traditions. This underground oil mill was once used to process olives by hand, producing the essential lampante oil. A living legacy of rural tradition, brought back to life through olive oil production and guided tasting tours by Borgo Mulino a Vento.

Products

Salento, southern Apulia’s garden

Tenuta D’Alba captures the beauty of pure, rustic flavors in their simplest form. Sun-drenched vegetables, naturally sweet fruit, ripe figs meant for slow indulgence, and oil cold-pressed from local olives. Genuine treasures of our land, unfolding across our specialties from breakfast to dinner. Emotions that stay with you, long after they are first felt.

Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Three oils, three expressions of southern Apulia

The D’A Line marks our debut collection of single-varietal oils - three expressions of one land, each revealing a unique character. Equilibrium dalla Leccina, delicate and harmonious, perfect for everyday use. Audacis dalla Picholine, fresh, vibrant, and rich with aromas that spark instant curiosity. Terrae dalla Coratina, bold and full-bodied, echoing the authentic soul of Apulia. Each bottle tells the story of a historic variety, cultivated on limestone soils under the southern Apulian sun and carefully guided from harvest to bottling. Because great oil is always evolving, never the same as before. And that is its true richness.
