Located in the heart of the Murgia region, they began producing exquisite wines exclusively from native Apulian grapes. With their grandson Francesco Liantonio taking over the reins in 1989 to continue the winery\u0026#39;s tradition, the focus shifted even more towards the ancient Nero di Troia grape variety. Since 1993, the barrel-aged Nero di Troia in their Castel del Monte DOC Riserva has been a resounding success, garnering top ratings from international experts and wine enthusiasts alike. For his unwavering dedication to cultivating this grape, Francesco was appointed President of the Castel del Monte region and subsequently Vice President of the Italian DOC.","products":[{"product_id":"as-if-primitivo-di-manduria-doc","title":"as, if!
