The wine urges me on, the bewitching wine, which sets even a wise man to singing and to laughing gently and rouses him up to dance and brings forth words which were better unspoken.
Homer
Wine has always been the symbol of social prestige through history, people used to drink it at any time of the day. Poetry all around the Mediterranean Sea often cited wine. The wine of the ancients was more akin to a grape syrup, even though sometimes fortified, to what we drink now. Indeed, it was always served with water, that had to be prevalent. Since always wine has been an important part of our tables for its social functions, its beneficial properties and its taste. The land of Apulia allows to grow quality grape, black and white, the perfect place to produce fine wines.
