Cellar
Located in the Castellaneta countryside, at the foot of the Bari Murgia, it was founded by Francesco Valentino Dibenedetto, a farmer from birth, who later also became an agronomist. As early as the 1980s, he began converting the farm to organic farming, moving on to biodynamic practices in 2000. After a few years, he realised that there was still something standing in the way of a return to the archetypal situation of the soil, the ecosystem and thus also the vineyard. Inspired by the non-interventionist practices of Masanobu Fukuoka, in which the synergies between all the rings of the ecosystem are triggered, he switched to synergistic agriculture, for which, among other things, ploughing is no longer practised.This new adventure developed together with his wife Anna Maria and his four children: Carlo Nazareno, Domenico, Andrea, and Maria Clelia. It is thanks to the constant and responsible commitment of all of them that it was possible to build the current wine cellar, all in tuff, where in these precise climatic conditions it is possible to valorise the prized estate grapes without the use of chemicals. The entry into the company of the new generation, under the guidance of Francesco Valentino's wealth of experience, can only give impetus and vitality to the archetype.
