Lomazzi & Sarli
 Salento, Puglia | Italy

Located in a context of extreme beauty, within the Brindisi plain, heart of the Apulia, the Lomazzi & Sarli company is extended on fields of alluvial origin, devoted for ages to the viticulture. Carrying out the undertaking started by the Lomazzi & Sarli founders, Francesco Dimastrodonato has developed it, by incrementing the cultivation of “autochthon” grapes and moved himself in the first steps towards the realization of wines able to satisfy the tastes of the age’s consumers. Today, the Dimastrodonato family dedicates its work to his memory and intuitions, carrying out its performance with commitment and passion in the respect of the territory and the tradition whose roots come from the far 1869.The Greeks were to give boost to the Apulia winegrowing, as witnessed by the large number of archaeological finds, with clear oenological references, discovered almost everywhere in the territory. Since the 8th and the 7th century B.C., in a period of great splendor of the Greek civilization, wine held a prominent position in all the important events of the age. Although in the third century B.C. the Magna Grecia went through a difficult decline period due to the Rome occupation, the Apulia wines did not know the decay, in fact the Brundisium was acknowledged as a high level wine. The cultivation of the most important Salento vine, the Negroamaro, started in this century. The origins of its composed name actually rise from the combination of two words mauros and niger (the first is a Greek word, the second a Latin one), which indicate in two different languages a black fruit vine of a bitter taste.
