It was back in 1947 that the founder of this family established the first oil mill with rudimentary equipment but supported by the hard manual labour of his employees. Today, almost eighty years later, his descendants have transformed that primitive oil mill into a large, cutting-edge oil industry thanks to their parents’ experience.
But it was a quarter of a century later, in 1972, that the founder’s eldest son, Francesco Lamonarca, inspired by a spirit of transformation of the products of the earth, and with the subsequent help of his two brothers, established our winery. In it, everyone plays their own distinct role, which leads to the closest collaboration.
The story continues with the new generation taking over and carrying on the family business, following the Apulian winemaking tradition without ever neglecting innovation.
