TOP WINES ARE ROOTED IN HISTORY
Capo Zafferano is a famous promontory, with a great view of gulf with turquoise water and secular white lighthouse, so characteristic that we wanted it to represent the best expression of South Italy wines, in particular Puglia wines: a wine region with a unique macro-climate, being enclosed between three seas, where grapes have been cultivating and vinifacted for more than 3000 years. The wines from Puglia have a sweet and juicy fruit, with a soft and enveloping body, but always characterized by the typical saltiness of the wine-growing areas that are close to the sea. At the top of this production stand out the red wines produced by “appassimento”, the drying of grapes: a technique used in that area since the ancient Romans, which allows a slight dehydration of the bunches, concentrating their organoleptic qualities and enhancing wine aromas.

SUSTAINABLE FARMING.
Capo Zafferano means sustainable viticulture. We follow a path of agronomic innovation focused on the idea of “terroir as human capital”. Our basic purpose is the conservation and safeguard of the entire soil and climate context, aimed at producing wines endowed with the real characteristics of the soil they come from. The effort for the enhancement and safeguard of the “terroir as human capital” stems from the desire to hand over to future generations unpolluted soils, capable of producing top quality grapes to make wines that are the authentic expression of those terroirs.
