THE LEGEND
 

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, two friends who, in 2000, decided to take over the wine-making firm originally set up in 1903 and call it the Cantina Diomede.
