About Winery and Wines
The vineyards of Cantine Carpentiere grace the sun-kissed hills that surround Castel del Monte, the fortress built in the Puglia region by the Frederick II. Where the emperor once hunted in the company of his falcons, loving care today goes into tending to a generous land that yields rich, healthy vines whose grapes are used to make sublime-quality wines, with a wealth of flavour and character that only traditional methods can guarantee. We wine growers are proud of the terroir where we grow our vines, harvest our grapes and turn them into the wine we bottle in our winery.
Blending seamlessly in with the landscape of the Murgia, within the perfectly preserved dry-stone walls of a jazzo (originally built to protect the local flocks) and surrounded by vineyards, lies the modern, technologically advanced winery where Cantine Carpentiere turn their own grapes into wine. The grapes are carefully selected and harvested exclusively by hand, and only the company’s own grapes are used in the winery, where they are fermented at a low temperature for long periods, in keeping with the natural evolution of the fruit. The wines are then aged in large-size barrels so as to preserve the genuine characteristics of each grape variety. They are then bottled directly and exclusively in the winery, where strict organic production methods are scrupulously followed.
