An absolute masterpiece of medieval architecture, that UNESCO has declared World Heritage since 1996. Strong characterizing presence, unifying cultural element, high symbolic value of belonging and pride. According to the tradition, it was commissioned by Fredrick II of Swabia. Vignuolo rises just here.

THE DOC CASTEL DEL MONTE CHARACTERISTICS

Its vines, laid down on calcareous rock formations dating back to the Cretaceous period, take root on a not very deep soil, subject to a scarcely rainy weather and mild ended by the sea breeze. In the presence of all these microclimatic elements is contained the natural “secret” at the basis of the production of noble wines, which have an unmistakable character and a striking personality.
