The vineyards
The Vineyards The grapes come from their own land, which covers approximately 30 hectares; of these, 22 hectares are planted with Negroamaro, a typical Salento grape, 3 with Montepulciano, and 5 with Chardonnay. The oldest vines (40 years old) are trained using the traditional Apulian bush-trained method, which allows for low yields per hectare (60-70 quintals/ha) but produces excellent-quality grapes.
The younger vines are trained using the espalier method and have a size that allows for a greater number of plants per hectare, with fewer bunches per plant. This procedure results in a lower yield, but consequently a higher-quality product.
