Opinion in the field of wine vary widely about the fundamental factors in quality, multifarious and variable to the point that to select one – soil, micro-climate, exposure, genetic material, viticultural or cellar techniques - as of principal importance is often virtually impossible. But about one element, the age of the vines, there is no dissent whatsoever, and this for a simple reason: the world’s great wines are normally made from vineyards with a certain age, and the quality of the grapes from old vines is incomparably superior, independently of the viticulture or oenology practiced, from that of young vines.
Bed and Breakfast
The Bed and Breakfast Mille Una Notte is situated in the heart of the magnificent Taranto area, between the hinterland and the sea, which is only 5 km away. A gentleman’s residence in the past, it has recently been restructured though it has retained all its original elegance and charm.
This is in fact is one of the few original houses still standing in the centre of Lizzano and therefore also extremely interesting from the architectural point of view.
The large rooms that have been created in the interior offer a suggestive experience, thanks also to the period furnishings, like the four-poster beds or fascinating old-fashioned lamps.
The Bed and Breakfast is situated near the square where the Church of San Nicola, one of the town’s most important monuments, stands. Places of interest in the vicinity, apart from the sea, include the Archaeological Museum of Paleontology and Man, the Castle and the Clock Tower, otherwise it is well worth venturing into the enchanting countryside that only Puglia can offer.
Wine and food enthusiasts can, on prior reservation, taste the excellent house wines, together with the typical products of the area. The B&B management will also be opening its own restaurant in the near future.

Mille Una Wines
Italy, regrettably, lost a good deal of this patrimony when its vineyards were replanted in the aftermath of World War II, but a few patches of old-vine vineyards have managed to survive, some in Piedmont but the majority in the south.
And the southernmost part of the Salento peninsula in Puglia has been particularly favored by the devotion of its cultivators to this source of superior grapes, particularly of Primitivo.
Mille Una, a firm founded by four partners, has dedicated its efforts over the years to the opportunity offered by these treasures: head-pruned bush vines from 30 to 70 years of age located in such spots as Sava, Lizzano, and Maruggio.
To discover these vineyards is a moving sight: massive, gnarled trunks, their branches reaching skyward towards the Mediterranean sun just a short distance from Ionian sea. Here yields are microscopic, from .5 to .7 tons per acre, the maximum the vines can give and without any necessity on the part of their cultivators to intervene to limit the size of the crop.
The wines are often superb, and to choose a favorite in the lengthy line is a difficult task, but certain names regularly stand out: Ori di Taranto, Bacmione, Majara, Tretarante, and Sharazad.
