The name Locone is inspired by the lake of the same name in Minervino Murge, an element that tells the story of the connection between nature, water, and territory in an otherwise white, karst, and poor area. This identity is reflected in a Cabernet with a measured profile, more oriented towards balance and harmony than towards excess power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents an intense red color, consistent with the type.
