After WWII, returning soldiers were given plots of land to rebuild their lives with. Plot 29, generations later, gave birth to these organic vineyards along the northern coast of Puglia. Giuseppe Marrano's love of his homeland, passed down from his father and grandfather, is displayed in his convictions towards a natural and sustainable approach, utilizing biodynamic principals, all to celebrate the indigenous varietals of Puglia. A unique blend of four soils, dominated by clay and sand, allow these wines to express their native characteristics to be enjoyed by all.
