The D’Alfonso del Sordo’s vine growing and wine producing family tradition dates back to 1800, when some members of the family, enthusiastic farmers, began to cultivate vines in the family estates located in San Severo countryside: The baron Antonio Del Sordo, who had intended part of his estates located in San Severo and Lucera to vine growing, and Ludovico D’Alfonso, passionate vine grower, who already chose the best grapes from his vines at that time and vinified them in the basement of his house. In order to guarantee the continuity of the family name in the early 1900s Giovanni Del Sordo, Antonio’s son, having no descendants, decided to adopt Felice D’Alfonso, Ludovico’s son: It was the birth of D’Alfonso del Sordo family. In the second half of 1900 Antonio D’Alfonso Del Sordo, Felice’s firstborn, set up a society, laying the foundations for a commercial expansion of the family business, moreover, deciding to build a big winery in the heart of his estates, and transferring the transformation activity, ageing and wine bottling still done, following the family tradition, in the winery in San Severo city centre, in the more comfortable “Coppanetta” estate, and in contrada Sant’Antonino da Piede.
