Since 1968 the founders, Adele and Giovanni Longo eventually accompanied by their son Alberto, share a passion for producing quality wines valorizing the nearly forgotten appellation Cacc’e Mmitte di Lucera.
This appellation, among the first DOCs in Puglia to be established and recognized in 1976, has as its main grape variety, Nero di Troia.
