Our Land

We are located in the Alta Murgia Plateau area, the stone heart of the Apulia region, best described by the careful words of German historian and medievalist Ferdinando Gregorovius.

This region features a spectacular succession of rocky ridges, rolling hills, karst cavities, dolines and sinkholes, steep escarpments, woods and vast natural pastures, and bears witness to the perpetual mingling of Nature and man.

In particular, the Murgia Plateau is an area rich in karst formations, as well as in more recent rock formations, such as tuffs and clay bags, sands, and earthy and pebbly alluvial deposits, dating back to the last geological era, which mixed with humus and red earth to make the soil perfect for cultivation.

It is a naturalistic treasure that, in 1998, was endowed with the most important and deserved recognition, the establishment of the Alta Murgia National Park.

In the Murgia area, Gravina in Puglia is the town that boasts the oldest winemaking tradition, as attested by its historic motto Grana dat et Vina. COLLI DELLA MURGIA stands here, nestled between the protected natural area of Bosco Difesa Grande and the Bradano valley.
