Investment Year: 2026  |  Headquarters: Italy (operations) / Singapore (fund)  |  Operator: Wollstone Capital

Purus Capital is a single-asset agricultural fund investing in large-scale regenerative hazelnut orchards across Italy’s Lazio region. Operated by Wollstone Capital, the platform is being developed into one of Europe’s largest hazelnut operations, anchored by a long-term offtake agreement with a leading global confectionery group. By bringing institutional scale, modern agronomic practices, and technology-driven yield optimization to a historically fragmented market, Purus Capital is positioning Italian hazelnuts as a premium, sustainable alternative to traditional production geographies.

Sofico’s investment in Purus Capital marks its entry into European regenerative agriculture and reflects a long-term conviction in real-asset, international diversification. Partnering with a seasoned operator in a structurally growing market, Sofico extends its portfolio into a category that combines land-backed value, durable commercial demand, and meaningful environmental stewardship — a natural extension of its philosophy of patient capital and long-horizon investing.
