Rampone is a white wine which is excellent for fish, shellfish and seafood dishes.
A Latin pastinum was a hoe and, by derivation, a place where vines grew. Which rather makes one wonder why more wineries don’t have this name. The Pástini vineyards comprise 15 hectares managed by the Carparelli family. They make wines from the ancient grape varieties found in the Valle d’Itria, whose winemaking history dates back to before Roman times when the Greeks first landed here 3000 years ago.
