The history of our winery, surrounded by the picturesque landscape of the Itria Valley, began in the 70′s, when grandad Giuseppe and his son Franco bought a winery on the outskirts of Locorotondo and established what is now one of the oldest and most prestigious family-run wineries in Puglia, already in its third generation with Marianna and Vito. Today’s winery owes everything to the initiative of Giuseppe Cardone, the eldest of seven children, a man of great intelligence and intuition especially for the business: in fact He devoted always himself to commerce ( buyng and selling everything that he could) and in the late 60′s he began to attend the wine markets of the northen regions increasing fame and esteem for him also in the north of Italy. He had no other hobbies other than the love for his only son, Franco, who he strongly desired to have at his side, as soon as he finished his studies. A wish fulfilled in the 70′s, which was fully realized with the purchase of a winery in Locorotondo. It is under the guidance of Franco, helped by a team of qualified professional winemakers and agronomists selected by him, that the family company specialized in the production of high quality wines.
