| Story | The name Locone is inspired by the lake of the same name, an artificial reservoir located in the territory of Minervino Murge. Over the years, this place has become a beautiful hydrological basin inhabited by lacustrine fauna and flora, which is fundamental for giving life to a karst. white and 'poor' area such as the upper Murgia. |

| Wine making | On arrival at the winery, the grapes were destemmed, gently crushed and transferred to the vinification vats, where alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature of 26-28 °C. Maceration was carried out by alternating punching down and brief pumping over, so as to have a gradual and balanced extraction that lasted for about ten days. |
| Aging | At the end of alcoholic fermentation, the wine was transferred into oak barrels where malolactic fermentation and subsequent ageing took place. |
