Vincenzo Agresti invests in farms by starting the olive growing business.

Experience gained over the years allows Vincenzo Agresti to see the potential of the Coratina cultivar, dedicating a large part of the production to the latter.

Agresti starts the oil mill business in Andria, producing Coratina monocultivar extra virgin olive oil.

Riccardo Agresti, Vincenzo’s son, begins to devote himself to the family business, managing the farms.

Riccardo Agresti continues the activity of the oil mill, helped by his sons Vincenzo and Savino. The property expands from 10 to 70 hectares. Technology makes the company more modern.

A At the end of the decade, Riccardo leaves the mill business to his sons Vincenzo and Savino. A new office is inaugurated and the company Agrolio S.r.l. is born.

The Group expands its business with the birth of a winery and the launch of the Cantine Agresti brand. The transformation of grapes from the Castel del Monte area gives rise to C.D.O., P.G.I., organic and conventional wines.

Subsequently, the companies Wine Canto and Agresti Vini were founded, in order to market the wines produced on the farm.

During this period, Agrists Soc. Coop., an agricultural pharmacy providing technical advice in the field, was also established.

In 2020, supporting a circular economy model, the Agroenergy biogas plant, which transforms the by-products of oil transformation into energy, is inaugurated.

Gruppo Agresti is projecting itself towards 2030 while maintaining its vision: obtaining the best from nature and giving it back in the best possible way. In the 2030s, the Agresti family’s business will touch a century of history: a hundred years of work in a land with which it has created an indissoluble bond.
