CASTEL DEL MONTE DOC WINE
White, red and rosè: these are the three hints of which the Castel del Monte doc wine dyes, an Apulian wine of controlled origin, confering to the Castel of Fredrik II a unique taste. The climate settled in Castel del Monte Is particularly favourable to viticulture, and this factor positively influences the quality of the final product. The hills raising in the neighbouring areas of the castle redress themselves of grapes plants of Troia, Pampanuto and Bombino nero starting from 300 mt above sea level, then reflecting in the production of three types of wines. The Doc Castel del Monte is a very adaptable wine, with really different combinations according to the color chosen.
The white wine is associate to delicate dishes, such as seafood, light appetizers or fresh dairy products. The temperature to be served oscillates between 10° and 12°.

VALLE D'ITRIA: ENCHANTED LANDSCAPES AND LOCAL VINEYEARS
The Souther extremity of the altopiano delle Murge, where the provinces of Bari, Brindisi and Taranto meet, raise on Valle d’Itria, one of the most well-known territories of Apulia region for tourism, extended into the cities of Alberobello, Ostuni and Ceglie Messapica.
This place is full of tourists, mainly foreign ones, during all the year and also known for its old towns, which present a fairy scenery of unique artistic beauty, with pathways coasted of fine noble buildings with balconies in wrought iron adorned with garlands, cupids, festoons of Baroque art. And then ancient churches, typical widenings, well cared steet corners, pendant tufts of geranium, ornament on white lime on the walls, or to form flowerbed between alleys.

SALENTO, THE LAND OF NEGROAMARO
Negroamaro (two times black, from the union of the local dialect and Greek), the most ancient and common vine of Salento, tells the history of this land of its culture and its people to all those who concedes themselves the luxury of being conquered. The “heel” of Italy, territory of the ancient Messapia, includes the whole province of Lecce and part of the provinces of Brindisi and Taranto. Immersed into the Adriatic and Jonio sea, Salento is land of sun, winds and strong colors: the red of the land and of the wine, the dark green of Mediterranean scrub which touches the white of the sand and the blue of the sea, and still the white lime of the houses, of trulli and of dry stone walls and then the silver of olive trees, the gold of wheat.
If you taste Negroamaro you have the sensation of absorbing a spirit of this colors, of tasting it in all its power and seasonings of a wine result of a big work and humility. As this wine lived its culture migrating and instilling taste and harmony to the other wines for over hundred years, so its native land continued to constitute a place of arrivals and departures, of rich dialogues and exchanges, a land culturally and naturally voted to hospitality.
