The old vineyard is decades old and has developed deep roots, allowing it to easily absorb moisture. This is essential due to Puglia's warm summers. However, there's also plenty of natural refreshment, thanks to the sea breeze and the elevated position of the Negroamaro vineyard, approximately 100 meters above sea level.
