LOCAL AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS UNION
AGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVE COMPANY (UPAL)
On August 27, 1956, twenty-two wine producers came together to set up the Cantina Sociale di Cisternino. The territory of the Itria Valley has always been cultivated with vineyards and olive groves with a competence that has been refined over time. Here the vine finds its ideal environment in the hills and in the nature of the soil, producing a red wine with a delicate aroma, a clear flavor, extremely pleasant and soft. White wine has the scent of Malvasia and a harmonious and velvety flavor.
The Upal Social Winery has prepared a tasting room perfect for welcoming groups who want to visit our company and through wine tastings also savor the gastronomic tradition of the Itria Valley.
- A person in charge will explain the choices made during the planting phase and all the aspects, anecdotes, scientific notions of the grape life cycle.
- Visit the cellar where the processes of fermentation, vinification, ageing and preparation for bottling will be explained in detail.
- Tasting of the wines of our production combined with gastronomic products of our tradition.
Direct sale in the cellar is foreseen.
