According to the legend, Diomedes, the hero of the Trojan war, landed in Puglia and used the stones of the walls of the defeated cities to mark off the fields where he planted the vines he had brought with him. This is where the variety of grape known as Uva di Troia was born, and here in the heart of the Diomedes Fields is where we can find the wine-making company of Luigi Lenoci and Sabino Masciulli, who in 2000, decided to take over the wine-making firm originally set up in 1903 and called it Cantina Diomede. Since then their main aim has been being to shape a company which could produce high quality wines and in the meantime could also reflect the local features of the area.
The Company’s deep rooting into the local productive traditions and  its using the resources of the area, is representative of our wine, with quite typical features of the rural culture and the productive and economic heritage of Apulia.
The wines are nowadays obtained by means of cutting edge technologies, as a result of strong investments; and the tradition, as the whole cycle of activities, from the vineyard to the cellar,  lies on the most rigorous respect and recovery of local oenological traditions, a core issue of our Company  guideline.
Infact It is in our cave, which goes back to the mid-19th century, that our wines mature and reach their best.
As they mature in oak French barrels, at a constant temperature of 12° C, the aromas gradually blend to become a bouquet that is in harmony with the taste, forming an indivisible whole. It is during this phase that our wines slowly mature until they become sublime.
Our purposes to build and to throw our wines towards new market, to make them  megaphones of traditions, history, characterization and also innovation. The restoration of the vineyards, the choice to reduce the quantity of grapes per hectare, the attention in every productive phase both in the vineyard and in the cellar, are the patient and tenacious job of our men. This kind of work contributes to create  the quality of our wines and, at the same time, to value their oenological potential. Further  more, the use of some native grapes, the sage skill of our wine makers and the climatic features of our area give us everything necessary to produce and make unique our wines.
