The Ariano Winery is located between San Severo and Torremaggiore in an agricultural landscape representative of the typical colors and smells of the Gargano peninsula and the Puglia Table. The historical farm was inherited by Attilio Ariano and has been run using organic agricultural methods since 1997. A new modern production building that utilizes solar power was built in 2005.
The main philosophy of the vineyard is sustainable agriculture which helps to preserve the environment and increase the quality of wine production. These principles are carried on by the present generation represented by Federica Ariano and Aldo Avello who look after the technical and production side and by Manuela Ariano and Omar Leonardi who are responsible for the commercial and marketing aspects of the winery.
When the Last Tree Is Cut Down,
the Last Fish Eaten, and the Last Stream Poisoned,
You Will Realize That You Cannot Eat Money.
Cit. Toro Seduto
When they ask me what passion is for me,
I find myself thinking about my company.
That's why I know I'm on the right path.
A Dream that I saw born,
now becomes reality.
The pride of telling one's territory.
A passion born a few years ago,
but
one that will last a lifetime.
The Ariano Winery is located between San Severo and Torremaggiore in an agricultural landscape representative of the typical colors and smells of the Gargano peninsula and the Puglia Table. The Gargano peninsula is a piece of paradise with a mosaic of different and fascinating panoramas.
Along the coastline, there are narrow bays, sandy and gravel beaches, sea stacks, overhanging sea cliffs, sea caves, and secret ravines and coves where you can dive! Inland, the true green heart of the Gargano National Park is the Umbrian Forest where the sun has a hard time penetrating the forest and the landscape is like a fairytale.
San Severo in Puglia
The “Tavoliere”=Table of Puglia with its 4000 square kilometers is the second largest plain in Italy, second only to the Po Valley. Towards the west is San Severo, the wine and baroque capital of northern Puglia. This town originates from ancient times, but the current town was completely rebuilt after an earthquake razed it to the ground in the eighteenth century. The old town is a little gem full of palaces and churches decorated in the Baroque style typical of the time. The town theater “Real Borbone”, built in 1819, is the oldest one in Puglia.

Peschici and the “Trabucchi”
Peschici, also known as the Pearl of the Gargano, rises on a peak above the sea. It’s a town full of alleyways, hidden little squares, courtyards, steep stairways, narrow passageways and above all, white buildings typical of the Puglian coastline. Make it a point to visit the “trabucchi” of the area. These complex fishing machines are anchored and are capable of hurling out huge fishing nets about 30 meters from the coastline to gather hundreds of kilograms of fish at a time.
The term “trabucco” is dialectical and probably derives from the Latin term: “trabs-trabis” which means “wood” or “beam”.

Vieste
The historical center is characterized by haphazard, narrow alleyways and connected to buildings by slender, buttressed arche. Vieste’s origin is tied to an ancient legend regarding a romantic love story between a young fisherman, Pizzomunno, and a young maiden from the town. They were madly in love with each other. But the mermaids who were jealous of the maiden and angered by the constant rejection of Pizzomunno, dragged his beloved into the depths of the sea, taking her away from him forever. Pizzomunno, overcome with grief, was transformed into the monolith standing on the beach that bears his name.
