Cantina Vignuolo, originally named “Cantina Cooperativa” of the ACLI Land Reform, was founded in 1959 in order to bring out the typical autochthonous vines from Murgia, fertile land, rich in history and ancient culture.
The present partners have received this inheritance and are transmitting their precious knowledge to the new generations thanks to their daily care, the traditional farming methods and the continuous technological innovations.
Today, Cantina Vignuolo numbers more than 200 producing partners and owners of vineyards, covering about 500 hectares on the hills of Castel del Monte. An area with a high oenological vocation and especially favourable pedalogic and climatic conditions.
Murgia, and in particular the hilly area around Andria, well in the sun and by the sea, is an area which is optimal for vine-growing with the ever-mild climate, favourable temperature range, dry and scarcely rainy weather due to the natural protecting barrier created by the Apennines.
Here, the man-vine-land synergy is activated for the conscious reutilization and development of the soil. A value, which is indispensable to exalt the distinguishing peculiarities of the wines.
That is the only secret of the Cantina Vignuolo wines and of their growing success.
