The location between the towns of Manduria , Guagnano, Lizzano and Torricella, close to the typical area of both the Primitivo and Negramaro with vineyards located three kilometers from the sea, fully satisfies the icon of a viticulture with his head in the sun and feet in the blue of the Ionian sea, on which reflects the Zozzoli Tower , a watchtower against the Saracens of 1400th which gives its name to the whole area.
