Patriglione 2016, Azienda Agricola Cosimo Taurino

Despite being relatively easy to prove that the cultivation of vines in the Salento Peninsula goes back over 4000 years, it is however undeniable that in that area (now roughly corresponding to the southernmost part of Puglia) viticulture, as we conceive it today, was something unknown even at the end of the 60s. To give an idea of this situation, just think that the Family Taurino, despite having begun to be interested in viticulture for seven generations, still in the middle of the 20th century sent his bulk wines to the North where, thanks to their breadth and generous taste-olfactory profile, were used to give more body, alcohol and color to indigenous excessively “lights” wines.

To establish a date of the connection between the Pecorari family and viticulture in the Isonzo valleys, near Gorizia, in Friuli Venezia Giulia, just 10 kilometers from the border with Slovenia, we have to go back to 1879. Since then this connection has never been broken, passing through five generations, and arriving at the current owner Alvaro Pecorari who, starting from the important development work done by his father, gave it a definitive organization through the creation of Lis Neris winery.

Sometimes, in the varied world of wine, it happens that the owner of a large Venetian industrial group, Diotisalvi Perin, lover of nature and good wine, decides to take the risk and turn his passion into a fascinating wine project. Diotisalvi did so initially with a company, Antiche Terre dei Conti, engaged in an organic production at 360 degrees, and today converted to the production of ancient grains and flour.
